The Penguin English Library Edition of Dracula by Bram Stoker

'Alone with the dead! I dare not go out, for I can hear the low howl of the wolf through the broken window'

A chilling masterpiece of the horror genre,

Dracula also illuminated dark corners of Victorian sexuality. When

Jonathan Harker visits Transylvania to advise Count Dracula on a London home,

he makes a horrifying discovery. Soon afterwards, a number of disturbing

incidents unfold in England- an unmanned ship is wrecked at Whitby; strange

puncture marks appear on a young woman's neck; and the inmate of a lunatic

asylum raves about the arrival of his 'Master', while a determined group of

adversaries prepares to face the terrifying Count.

Abraham 'Bram' Stoker (1847 - 1912) was a sickly child, unable to stand until he was seven years old, and spent the majority of his childhood reading before defying the odds by becoming a champion athlete at Trinity College, Dublin. Starting his career as an Irish civil servant, his love of theatre led him to become an unpaid drama critic for the Dublin Mail and later manager and secretary for the famous actor Sir Henry Irving. He also wrote a dozen books, of which Dracula (1897) is without doubt the most famous. An immediate bestseller in Victorian England, Stoker's masterpiece of the macabre has remained popular ever since, as testified by the countless film adaptations of the novel.
