The volume includes an introduction by Roger Luckhurst that considers the Gothic genre and vampire legend, discusses the vampire tale as sexual allegory, and outlines the social and cultural contexts that feed into the novel, including the New Woman, new technology, race, immigration, and religion. In addition, Luckhurst provides comprehensive explanatory notes that flesh out vampire mythology and historical allusions, plus an appendix featuring Stoker's short story, "Dracula's Guest," an early draft or abandoned chapter that was not published as part of the novel. --from publisher description.

Work Description

Sink your teeth into the ageless tale of the famous vampire Count Dracula.

Dracula first horrified readers over 125 years ago. Today, this original gothic masterpiece includes a detailed exploration into the 1897 classic vampire novel and its author, Bram Stoker.

In this bonus introduction,

Learn about Stoker’s early life, his colorful career, and the famous friends he made leading up to the creation of his magnum opus, Dracula.
Tune into the speculative theories of Stoker’s personal life and his deeply repressed homosexual tendencies.
Delve deep into the folklore and mysticism that inspired Dracula, the masterful work itself, and the lasting impact it continues to have on pop culture.
This annotated introduction accompanying this classic novel is essential for all fans of Bram Stoker’s Dracula. I welcome you, the reader, as Count Dracula beckoned Jonathan Harker:

“Welcome to my house. Enter freely and at your own free will.”
