Book Review:
Bram Stoker’s Dracula (1897) is the most famous vampire story ever written and the foundation of modern horror. Told through letters, diary entries, and newspaper clippings, the novel follows young Jonathan Harker as he travels to Count Dracula’s castle in Transylvania — only to discover that his host is a blood-sucking monster. Dracula then moves to England, preying on innocent victims like Lucy Westenra and threatening Jonathan’s fiancée, Mina. A band of heroes led by Professor Abraham Van Helsing hunts the vampire across Europe. Stoker’s novel is atmospheric, terrifying, and surprisingly sexual for its time. It has inspired countless films, from Bela Lugosi to Francis Ford Coppola. This Wordsworth Classics edition is complete and unabridged. A must-read for horror fans.
