Dracula

Intrigued by all things undead? Then you’ll love reading the classic tale which started it all.

Definitive Vampire Fantasy

Ever since its initial publication in 1897, Bram Stoker’s Dracula has served as the foundation upon which all vampire fiction has been created. Creepy castles. An aversion to sunlight and garlic. Suave and intelligent beings that harbor an unquenchable thirst for human blood. Extremely beautiful in human form but monstrous when their true nature is revealed. No reflection. Equipped with superhuman strength, agility and hypnotic powers which are used to ensnare victims. There’s no denying it, Count Dracula is a vampiric trendsetter!

Introducing Count Dracula

Yes, all of these time-honored vampire stereotypes have their roots in Bram Stoker’s Dracula. In fact, before Dracula was published, most people regarded vampires to be gruesome, corpse-like creatures (much like the zombies that we know and love on this site!). However, Count Dracula is an incredibly handsome and charismatic aristocrat with an abundance of wealth. He even has his own castle in the Carpathian Mountains.

Intrigue and Suspense

You may have seen one of the many Dracula films or TV adaptations over the years, but there is nothing quite like the original. The thrilling sense of intrigue and suspense that Bram Stoker evokes in just 408 pages has stood the test of time. This classic tale is more compelling now than ever.
