Dracula

Bram Stoker · 1897 · Horror & Gothic, Fantasy

A young solicitor's business trip to a remote Carpathian castle becomes a nightmare when he realises his courtly host, Count Dracula, is a centuries-old vampire — who then sails to England to spread his curse. As a beloved young woman wastes and dies, a small band led by the eccentric Professor Van Helsing awakens to the truth and bands together — Mina and Jonathan Harker, Dr. Seward, Lord Godalming and the Texan Quincey Morris — to hunt the Un-Dead back across Europe to his lair. Told entirely through diaries, letters and phonograph records, Bram Stoker's 1897 masterpiece founded the modern vampire legend. Complete and richly illustrated.
