Dracula by Bram Stoker

A dark castle, blood-thirsty vampires, flying bats, howling wolves, spiders, open graves at midnight, and other gothic touches fill this chilling tale about a young Englishman's confrontation with the evil Count Dracula. A horror romance as deathless as any vampire, the blood-curdling tale still continues to hold readers spellbound a century later and inspired Francis Ford Coppola to adapt into a major motion picture in 1992.

Bram Stoker (1847 1912) was an Irish author best known for his Gothic horror Dracula (1897). The vampire novel is one of the most celebrated works of English literature and has been widely studied by scholars internationally. He wrote a total of 15 novels and three short story collections.
