Summary:
"The Most Famous Vampire Novel Ever written, Bram Stoker's Dracula has enthralled generations of readers as completely as Count Dracula enthralls his victims. Though Stoker did not invent vampires - and in fact based his character's life-in-death on extensive research in European folklore - his 1897 novel elevated the nocturnal creature 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 power of Stoker's tale. As his suave and chilling monster stalks his prey from a crumbling castle in the Carpathian mountains of Transylvania to an insane asylum in England to the bedrooms of his swooning female victims, the drama builds to a fever pitch of sensuality and suspense. Dracula is a classic of Gothic horror, an undying wellspring of modern mythology, and in irresistible entertainment." -- Dust Jacket.
