One of the most infamous characters in literary history, Dracula is the original modern vampire, combining the contrary traits of charm, sophistication and irresistible sexual allure with a repugnant beast. Dracula both thrilled and terrified morally principled Victorian audiences with the foreboding threat of corruption, depravity and social decay.
In this unabridged version of Bram Stoker’s 1897 classic, join innocent young English solicitor Jonathan Harker in his terrifying journey to Transylvania as he, Lucy, Mina, Dr Seward and the heroic Professor Van Helsing battle the cunning of Count Dracula and his bloodthirsty legions.

There is a sense of claustrophia and dread that permeates the gothic pages of this, one of the most popular horror novels ever witten. Count Dracula looms over the story like a gargoyle perched on a roof, his shadow reaching from the wilds of Transylvania to the smog-ridden stones of 19th Century London. The reader finds themself drawn into his web along with the brave band of characters who join together to try to break his curse - will you escape, or will you succomb to his deadly charms? Only one way to find out. - Rebecca (QBD)
