Irish author Bram Stoker introduced the
character of Count Dracula and provided the basis of modern vampire
fiction in his 1897 novel entitled Dracula. 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 discovers that he is being held prisoner, and that Dracula has
a rather disquieting 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! Now available as part of the Canterbury Classics singles
series, Dracula is a must-have addition to the libraries of all
classic literature lovers.
