The Lady of the Shroud is a novel by Bram Stoker, published by William Heinemann in 1909. The book is an epistolary novel, narrated in the first person via letters and diary extracts from various characters, but mainly Rupert. Bram Stoker wrote numerous novels, short stories, essays, and lectures, but Dracula is by far his most famous work.
