Dracula (Canon Classics Worldview Edition) (Worldview) ( Canon Classics )

"Bram Stoker’s 1897 Gothic novel, Dracula, features many of the most powerful tropes in the fictional narrative: suspense, love, seduction, heroism, sacrifice, and the burning desire for some form of immortality." -From Grant Horner's Introduction

When the gorgeous Lucy Westenra mysteriously sickens, it’s up to Jonathan Harker and her other friends to figure out what’s preventing her recovery. Unfortunately, they take too long to realize that something dark has crossed the Channel and taken up residence in England. Even with the aid of the erudite Abraham Van Helsing and a number of sharp weapons, it may be too late even to save themselves, much less destroy the monstrous threat.

 Helped by the cinema in the following century, this 1897 Canon Classic immortalized both the horror genre and Count Dracula.

About The Author:

Bram Stoker (1847-1912) was born in Dublin in Ireland. A graduate of Trinity College, Dublin, Stoker was inspired to write Dracula when he met Armin Vámbéery, a Hungarian writer, who told Stoker tales of the Carpathian Mountains. This inspired Stoker to study European folklore and the history of vampires.
