  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.

  Of the many admiring reviews Bram Stoker's Dracula received when it first appeared in 1897, the most astute praise came from the author's mother, who wrote her son: It is splendid. No book since Mrs. Shelley's Frankenstein or indeed any other at all has come near yours in originality, or terror. A popular bestseller in Victorian England, Stoker's hypnotic tale of the bloodthirsty Count Dracula, whose nocturnal atrocities are symbolic of an evil ages old yet forever new, endures as the quintessential story of suspense and horror. The unbridled lusts and desires, the diabolical cravings that Stoker dramatized with such mythical force, render Dracula resonant and unsettling a century later.
