Dracula

About

Solicitor Jonathan Harker travels to a remote Transylvanian castle to finalize a property deal with the enigmatic Count Dracula, only to discover his host is a centuries-old vampire preparing to move to England. When the Count arrives and begins preying on the young women Lucy and Mina, Professor Van Helsing gathers a small band of allies to hunt him across two countries. Told through letters, diaries, and newspaper clippings, Bram Stoker's novel gives its supernatural horror the unsettling texture of documentary evidence. A distillation of Victorian anxieties about sex, disease, and the foreign other, Dracula defined the vampire archetype for every story that followed.
