This famous novel tells the story of Count Dracula and his attempt to move from
Transylvania to England so that he may find new blood and spread the undead
curse, and of the battle between Dracula and a small group led by Professor Van
Helsing. When Jonathan Harker visits Transylvania to help Count Dracula with the
purchase of a London house, he makes a series of horrific discoveries about his
client. Soon afterwards, various bizarre incidents unfold in England, an
apparently unmanned ship is wrecked off the coast of Whitby, a young woman
discovers strange puncture marks on her neck and the inmate of a lunatic asylum
raves about the Master and his imminent arrival. In Dracula, Bram Stoker creates
one of the great masterpieces of the horror genre, brilliantly evoking a
nightmare world of vampires and vampire hunters and also illuminating the dark
corners of Victorian desire. Thus Bram Stoker, one of the greatest exponents of
the supernatural narrative, describes the demonic subject of his chilling
Count Dracula, the most iconic and most famous of all vampires. This
special anniversary edition of Bram Stoker's Dracula, first edition, first
printing will be the pride of the bookshelves of real collectors of literature
and fine books, who care for the prestige of their home library.
