Regarded as one of the most influential horror tales ever written, and the inspiration for countless literary spin-offs, the tale of the young Englishman Jonathan Harker's journey into the very heart of Count Dracula's evil realm remains a compelling read. A thriller of hypnotic power, a dark exploration of sexuality, mythology, and the supernatural, and a plain old-fashioned masterpiece of storytelling, the nightmarish story of
Dracula is one of the all-time classics of supernatural fiction.

'One of the most powerful horror tales ever written.'
Malcolm Bradbury
'I think it is the very best story of diablerie which I have read for
many years. It is really wonderful how with so much exciting interest
over so long a book
there is never an anticlimax.'
Arthur Conan Doyle
'Those who cannot find their own reflection in Bram Stoker’s
still-living creature are surely the undead.'
The New York Times
'An exercise in masculine anxiety and nationalist
paranoia, Stoker’s novel is filled with scenes that are
staggeringly lurid and perverse.'
Sarah Waters
