Der berühmteste Vampirroman aller Zeiten.
Die Geschichte des berüchtigten Grafen Dracula, der in Transsylvanien und London sein Unwesen treibt, ist weltbekannt. Der Roman, der die Themen Liebe, Abenteuer und Schauer kunstvoll verknüpft, regte seit seinem Erscheinen 1897 zahlreiche Schriftsteller, Regisseure und Künstler zu Adaptionen und Nacherzählungen an. Varianten des Vampir-Mythos erfreuen sich bis heute ungebrochener Beliebtheit, und zahllose Legenden ranken sich um den düsteren Grafen. Den Anfang jedoch nehmen all diese Geschichten in einem der berühmtesten Meisterwerke der Weltliteratur: Bram Stokers 'Dracula'.

'We are in Transylvania; and Transylvania is not England. Our ways are not your ways, and there shall be to you many strange things.'
Earnest and naive solicitor Jonathan Harker travels to Transylvania to organise the estate of the infamous Count Dracula at his crumbling castle in the ominous Carpathian Mountains. Through notes and diary entries, Harker keeps track of the horrors and terrors that beset him at the castle, telling his fiancé Mina of the Count's supernatural powers and his own imprisonment. Although Harker eventually manages to escape and reunite with Mina, his experiences have led to a mental breakdown of sorts.
Meanwhile in England, Mina's friend Lucy has been bitten and begins to turn into a vampire. With the help of Professor Van Helsing, a previous suitor of Lucy's, Seward, and Lucy's fiancé Holmwood attempt to thwart Count Dr acula and his attempts on Lucy and consequently Mina's life.
Arguably the most enduring Gothic novel of the 19th Century, Bram Stoker's Dracula is as chilling today in its depiction of the vampire world and its exploration of Victorian values as it was at its time of publication.
