GREATER LOVE by BRAM STOKER

Greater Love by Bram Stoker at 1001 Stories From The Gilded Age Podcast- Show Notes Tonight's story comes from a writer we usually associate with the supernatural — but here, Bram Stoker shows us something very different. "Greater Love" is a deeply human tale, written during the same era that produced so many of the great magazine stories of the Gilded Age. It's a story about sacrifice, quiet devotion, and the kind of courage that doesn't announce itself. In a time when periodicals were the lifeblood of popular reading, Stoker stepped outside the shadow of Dracula to explore the emotional struggles of ordinary people — their hopes, their heartbreaks, and the choices that reveal who they truly are. This story is one of his most touching examples. It's a reminder that the Gilded Age wasn't only about grand adventures and social change — it was also about the intimate, everyday acts of love that shape a life. Here is Bram Stoker's "Greater Love."
