Dracula

“It was butcher work...the horrid screeching as the stake drove home; the plunging of writhing form, and lips of bloody foam.”

Bram Stoker's 1897 gothic novel introduced Count Dracula to the world, an ancient supernatural creature bent on bringing his contagion to London. As the horrifying story unfolds in the diaries and letters of young Jonathan Harker, Lucy, Mina, and Dr Seward, Dracula will be victorious unless his nemesis Professor Van Helsing can persuade them that monsters still lurk in the era of electric light.

The most famous of all vampire stories, Dracula is a mirror of its age, its underlying themes of otherness, race, religion, science, superstition, and sexuality never far from the surface. A compelling read, rattling along at break-neck speed, it is a modern classic. This new edition includes Stoker's companion piece, 'Dracula's Guest'.
