Book Overview: Dracula (Penguin Classics)

A masterpiece of the horror genre, Dracula also probes identity, sanity and the dark corners of Victorian sexuality and desire. It begins when Jonathan Harker visits Transylvania to help Count Dracula purchase a London house, and makes horrifying discoveries in his client's castle. Soon afterwards, disturbing incidents unfold in England - an unmanned ship is wrecked; strange puncture marks appear on a young woman's neck; a lunatic asylum inmate raves about the imminent arrival of his 'Master' - and a determined group of adversaries prepare to battle the Count.

Edited with an Introduction and notes by MAURICE HINDLE
With a Preface by CHRISTOPHER FRAYLING

About the Author(s)

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.
