Under the Sunset is a collection of fantasy short stories by Bram Stoker first published in 1881. A children's book, it was illustrated by W. V. Cockburn and William FitzGerald, the younger brother of the Dublin physicist George Francis FitzGerald. The book was an early work before he achieved recognition with Dracula in 1897.
The collection was published in London in November 1881 by Sampson, Low, Marston, Searle & Rivington in a 190 page edition. In October 1882 the publishers released a 191 page second edition with 48 illustrations by the same artists.
Its significance in the development of fantasy literature was recognized by its republication in October 1978 by the Newcastle Publishing Company as the seventeenth volume of the celebrated Newcastle Forgotten Fantasy Library series.
