This audiobook is narrated by an AI Voice. Jonathan Harker travels into the Carpathians to complete a property sale for a client who keeps no servants, casts no reflection, and receives him with impeccable courtesy. Within days Harker understands that he is not a guest but a prisoner, and that the crates of Transylvanian earth being loaded for England have a passenger.

In Whitby, a derelict schooner runs aground with its captain lashed dead to the wheel. Lucy Westenra begins to walk in her sleep. Her friend Mina keeps her journal faithfully, a solicitor in an asylum records the ravings of a patient who eats flies and speaks of his Master, and an old Dutch professor named Van Helsing arrives with a diagnosis nobody is willing to hear.

Assembled from letters, diaries, telegrams and newspaper cuttings, the novel builds its terror out of ordinary people documenting something they cannot bring themselves to name, until they are hunting it back across Europe with the sun going down.

The book that fixed the vampire in the modern imagination, and still the most frightening version of it.
