Editorial Reviews

"Those who cannot find their own reflection in Bram Stoker's still-living creation are surely the undead ."
— New York Times Review of Books

"An exercise in masculine anxiety and nationalist paranoia, Stoker's novel is filled with scenes that are staggeringly lurid and perverse…. The one in Highgate cemetery, where Arthur and Van Helsing drive a stake through the writhing body of the vampirised Lucy Westenra, is my favourite."
— Sarah Waters, author of The Little Stranger

"It is splendid. No book since Mrs. Shelley's Frankenstein or indeed any other at all has come near yours in originality, or terror."
— Bram Stoker's Mother

About the Author

Bram Stoker

Bram Stoker was an acclaimed Irish author who gained worldwide recognition for his Gothic horror novel, “Dracula” published in 1897. Born on November 8, 1847, in Dublin, Ireland, he developed an interest in writing during his college years. Before becoming a full-time writer, he served as the personal assistant to actor Sir Henry Irving and manager of London’s renowned Lyceum Theatre. “Dracula,” his most popular work, established many conventions of subsequent vampire fantasy. This pioneering work of the vampire genre influenced decades of authors and filmmakers. Stoker passed away on April 20, 1912, in London, England, leaving behind a lasting legacy in horror fiction.
