WITH AN INTRODUCTION BY JOSEPH O'CONNOR
Rediscover a dread of Dracula in this beautifully designed new Vintage Classics edition
This classic of horror writing is composed of diary entries, letters and newspaper clippings that piece together the depraved story of the ultimate predator. A young lawyer on an assignment finds himself imprisoned in a Transylvanian castle by his mysterious host. Back at home his fiancée and friends are menaced by a malevolent force which seems intent on imposing suffering and destruction. Can the devil really have arrived on England's shores? And what is it that he hungers for so desperately?
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!
This most iconic character still unleashes the mind’s deepest, darkest fears * Guardian *
