Description

Bram Stoker’s Dracula is the classic vampire story of mysterious Transylvanian castles and counts, Victorian gentlemen vampire hunters, coffins, and maidens in distress. Dracula has all the elements of a classic gothic horror and more and will not fail to disappoint any reader hungry for a thrilling read.

Published in 1897 it was greeted with wide critical acclaim. It was described as « the sensation of the season » and “the most blood-curdling novel of the paralysed century”. Sherlock Holmes author Sir Arthur Conan Doyle thought it “the very best story of diablerie which I have read for many years.”

Bram Stoker did not invent the idea of the vampire, but he gave the legend its modern form, which has led to many film and TV adaptations.

This edition includes an essay by J. S. Williams entitled “The Enduring Appeal of Bram Stoker’s Dracula”
