As the suave and chilling Count Dracula stalks his prey from a crumbling castle in the Carpathians to a lunatic asylum in Purfleet and the bedrooms of his swooning female victims, the drama builds to a fever pitch of sensuality and suspense.

Though Stoker did not invent vampires - and in fact based his character's life-in-death on extensive research into European folklore - his novel elevated the nocturnal monster to iconic stature, spawning a genre of stories and movies which flourishes to this day.

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.”
