Dracula




The new paperback series: Penguin English Library

Bram Stoker’s gothic horror masterpiece pits good against evil and life against death, all under the thrall of the original vampire....

“Listen to them—the children of the night. What music they make!”

He is a creature of darkness. His face deathly pale, his eyes ablaze with the fires of hell. He has been dead for centuries, yet he may never die. He waits in his crumbling castle in the mountains of Transylvania, as his prey draws closer and closer to destruction....

Here begins one of the most celebrated horror stories in history, the tale of an undead monster who craves the blood of his victims and relishes his dominance over mankind. With its delicious mix of action, suspense, and looming dread, Bram Stoker’s Dracula has terrified and inspired readers for more than a hundred years. 


With an Introduction by Leonard Wolf
and an Afterword by Jeffrey Meyers

Praise for Dracula

An exercise in masculine anxiety and nationalist paranoia, Stoker's novel is filled with scenes that are staggeringly lurid and perverse... The one in Highgate cemetery, where Arthur and Van Helsing drive a stake through the writhing body of the vampirised Lucy Westenra, is my favourite

Sarah Waters

It is splendid. No book since Mrs. Shelley's Frankenstein or indeed any other at all has come near yours in originality, or terror

Bram Stoker’s Mother

In my opinion Dracula is about how suffocating Victorian times were. The bonus is, you get vampires!
