  Bram Stoker's classic vampire story has haunted and disturbed the modern imagination for more than 100 years. Set in Transylvania, London, and Whitby, it pits the sinister but seductive Count Dracula against a team of vampire-hunters armed only with typewriters, phonographs and syringes. They must obstruct his plan to conquer London before the forces of madness and depravity overwhelm them all. This edition has an introduction and bibliography which draw on modern scholarship, and detailed notes which explain literary, geographical and technological allusions in the novel.

  Introduction and Notes by Dr David Rogers, Kingston University. 'There he lay looking as if youth had been half-renewed, for the white hair and moustache were changed to dark iron-grey, the cheeks were fuller, and the white skin seemed ruby-red underneath; the mouth was redder than ever, for on the lips were gouts of fresh blood, which trickled from the corners of the mouth and ran over the chin and neck. Even the deep, burning eyes seemed set amongst the swollen flesh, for the lids and pouches underneath were bloated. It seemed as if the whole awful creature were simply gorged with blood; he lay like a filthy leech, exhausted with his repletion.' Thus Bram Stoker, one of the greatest exponents of the supernatural narrative, describes the demonic subject of his chilling masterpiece Dracula, a truly iconic and unsettling tale of vampirism.
