Dracula

by Bram Stoker

Letters and journals reveal a dark struggle against the mysterious Count Dracula.

About this book

Jonathan Harker travels to Transylvania to help a mysterious count purchase property in England. His unsettling stay is only the beginning: as Dracula moves west, a circle of friends must piece together the danger and resist it.

Bram Stoker tells the story through diaries, letters, and records. The accumulating evidence gives the supernatural threat an intimate immediacy, while the characters’ cooperation provides the heart of this landmark vampire novel.

Because the characters write before they fully understand what is happening, readers can follow the widening gap between suspicion and certainty. The shifts between isolated fear and collective action are a large part of the story’s momentum and enduring appeal.
