Dracula

"Count Dracula" has inspired countless movies, books, and plays. But few, if any, have been fully faithful to Bram Stoker's original, best-selling novel of mystery and horror, love and death, sin and redemption. "Dracula" chronicles the vampire's journey from Transylvania to the nighttime streets of London. There, he searches for the blood of strong men and beautiful women while his enemies plot to rid the world of his frightful power.

The familiar figure of Count Dracula -- pale and icy, with sharp teeth, inhuman strength, and a relentless hunger for human blood -- was born in the imagination of Bram Stoker. Where did this seemingly mild-mannered theater manager get the inspiration for such a strange character? Why did it take him six years to write this chilling story? Where is Transylvania and why did Stoker choose it to be Count Dracula's home? To answer these and many other questions, open the cover of this book and enter the world of Bram Stoker, Author of Dracula. Book jacket.
