Dracula

Originally published in May 1897, ‘Dracula’ is a gothic horror novel by Bram Stoker, an Irish author. Bram Stoker introduced the character of Count Dracula and provided the basis of modern vampire fiction in this novel. Written as a series of letters, newspaper clippings, diary entries, and ships’ logs, the story begins with lawyer Jonathan Harker journeying to meet Dracula at his remote castle to complete a real estate transaction. Harker soon uncovers that he is being held prisoner and that Dracula has a rather disturbing nocturnal life. Touching on themes such as Victorian culture, immigration, and colonialism, among others, this timeless classic is sure to keep readers on the edge of their seats.
