Dracula

'Dracula' is one of the most famous pieces of English literature of all time and a towering work of Gothic fiction whose archetypal characters—Count Dracula and Abraham Van Helsing—have permeated popular culture since their first appearance in 1897. Drawing on Transylvanian folklore, Bram Stoker weaves his tale of horror through newspaper articles and the letters, diary entries, journals, telegrams, and ship’s logs of a small cast of characters whose perilous encounters with Dracula have harrowing if not fatal consequences.

“In seeking for a parallel to this weird, powerful, and horrorful story our mind reverts to such tales as The Mysteries of Udolpho, Frankenstein, Wuthering Heights, The Fall of the House of Usher, and Marjery of Quether. But Dracula is even more appalling in its gloomy fascination than any one of these.” —The Daily Mail, June 1, 1897.
