Dracula




The new paperback series: Penguin English Library

Bram Stoker’s celebrated Gothic classic—a quintessential story of suspense, horror, and a creature with an insatiable desire for blood . . .

One of the most popular stories ever told, Dracula has been re-created for the stage and screen hundreds of times in the last century. Yet it is essentially a Victorian saga, an awesome tale of a thrillingly bloodthirsty vampire whose nocturnal atrocities reflect the dark underside of a supremely moralistic age. And it boasts one of the most terrifying characters in literature: centuries-old Count Dracula, whose diabolical passions prey upon the innocent, the helpless, the beautiful.

Dracula remains Bram Stoker’s most celebrated and enduring work—even today this Gothic masterpiece has lost none of the spine-tingling impact that makes it a classic of the genre.
