Since its publication in 1897, Bram Stoker’s Dracula has been one of the most influential works of horror fiction in the Western canon, sharing a spot on the pedestal with Mary Shelley’s Frankenstein (1818). Dracula’s broad appeal stems in part from its ability to fit within several different literary subgenres. In addition to horror, it works well as Gothic romance, melodrama, invasion literature and, of course, vampire fiction. Stoker did not originate the themes that individually qualify Dracula for these categories, but he did combine them in a unique way, creating a work that continues to resonate more than one hundred years later.

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.”
