Publisher Description
Brought to you by Penguin.
This Penguin Classic is narrated by Mark Gatiss, who also wrote the screen play for the critically acclaimed BBC adaptation. Gatiss has also had an extensive acting career including roles in Sherlock, which he wrote alongside Steven Moffat, The League of Gentlemen and Wolf Hall.
When Jonathan Harker visits Transylvania to help Count Dracula with the purchase of a London house, he makes a series of horrific discoveries about his client. Soon afterwards, various bizarre incidents unfold in England: an apparently unmanned shipis wrecked off the coast of Whitby; a young woman discovers strange puncture marks on her neck; and the inmate of a lunatic asylum raves about the 'Master' and his imminent arrival. In Dracula, Bram Stoker created one of the great masterpieces of the horror genre, brilliantly evoking a nightmare world of vampires and vampire hunters and also illuminating the dark corners of Victorian sexuality and desire.

Customer Reviews
Mark Gatiss’ reading is phenomenal
One of the best narrations of any book I’ve ever heard. There are a million recordings of this iconic story; this is the one you want.
An Odyssey complete
The story is a full loop and doesn’t leave you wondering what is going to happen next awesome book 10/10
Cried in the last part of chapter 27
Great way to finally get through this book
Tried many times to read this but the diary format was hard to follow and got boring once they get to London. Movies didn’t match up with the book. I finally understand now who all of the characters are and using different accents for each really helped. I never realized how little Dracula makes an appearance.
