The Jewel of Seven Stars was Bram Stoker’s eighth novel. This novel, along with The Lair of The White Worm, is one of his most famous books after Dracula. It was first published in 1903 by William Heinemann of London. The book itself was a 338 page hardcover with a red cloth cover stamped with the title, the author’s name and seven stars in gold and black. There is also a picture of a scarab stamped into the front cover. A photograph of the book's cover (1904 US edition) is available here.

When The Jewel of Seven Stars was republished in 1912 Chapter XVI "Powers - Old and New" was left out and the book was given a happier ending. The original ending was later republished as a short story under the name "The Bridal of Death". Both the original (1903) and the rewritten (1912) versions of the novel are available for download.
