출판사 설명
Dracula is one of the most famous horror novels, responsible not just for introducing the eponymous Count Dracula, but for laying the foundations for many of the common tropes we see in modern horror fiction.
Count Dracula isn’t the first vampire to have graced the pages of Western literature—that honor belongs to Lord Ruthven in “The Vampire,” a short story by John William Polidori—but Dracula is the vampire on which the modern vampire trope is based.
Dracula wasn’t as famous in its day as it is today; readers of the time seemed to enjoy it as nothing more than a good story, and Stoker died nearly penniless. But its long-lasting influence is undeniable, and for all its age Dracula remains a gripping, fast-paced, and enjoyable read.

Classic
Dracula - Bram Stroker
I love reading classics around October and Halloween. I love that Mina, was the reason that Jonathan and Van Helsing and the others found Dracula. I loved this story and the focus on love and friendship and being together. I love how Mina and Lucy were portrayed especially compared to other works of the time. I found out that there’s more books in this universe so I’d definitely be reading those.
