HarperCollins is proud to present its new range of best-loved,
essential classics. '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
fiance 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 fiance
Holmwood attempt to thwart Count Dracula 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.

Written in 1897, Stoker's novel introduces the iconic character of
the vampire Count Dracula. Through a series of letters and diary
entries, the novel tells the story of Dracula's attempt to move
from Transylvania to England, and the battle between Dracula and a
small group of men and women led by Professor Abraham Van Helsing.
Although Stoker did not invent the vampire, he defined its modern
form as we know it today.
This is the classic novel brought to life in full colour! Bram
Stoker's gothic masterpiece was first published in 1897, and has
spawned so many classic films, all based on the character he
invented when Queen Victoria was on the throne. Like
"Frankenstein", the films have pushed the characters into the very
fabric of our society, so it is with great pride that we bring you
a visual treatment that is true to the original - made even more
exciting by the wonderous talent that is Staz Johnson!
'I knew the site of the hut and the hill behind it up which I had
rushed, and in the flickering glow the eyes of the rats still shone
with a sort of phosphorescence.' Beyond the genre-defining
influence of Dracula, Bram Stoker was also a master of the short
story form. This new collection of the author’s tales represents
his diverse interests in the macabre and uncanny, ranging from the
hallucinatory and dreamlike in ‘The Shadow Builder’ and ‘In
the Valley of the Shadow’ to the more overtly horrifying in the
mini- masterpieces of ‘The Judge’s House’ and ‘The Burial
of the Rats’. Alongside acknowledged classics of the horror short
story canon, this new volume also includes obscurities such as the
darkly comic ‘Old Hoggen: A Mystery’ and the morbid fairy tale
‘The Castle of the King’ to reflect the full brilliance of the
legendary writer.
