Since its publication in 1897 Dracula has enthralled generations of readers with the alluring malevolence of its undead Count, the most famous vampire in literature. Though Bram Stoker did not invent vampires, his novel helped catapult them to iconic stature, spawning a genre of stories and movies that flourishes to this day. A century of imitations has done nothing to diminish the fascination of Stoker's tale of a suave and chilling monster as he stalks his prey from a crumbling castle in Transylvania's Carpathian mountains to an insane asylum in England to the bedrooms of his swooning female victims. A classic of Gothic horror, Dracula remains an irresistible entertainment of undying appeal.

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.”
