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.
Dracula meets manga in this surreally beautiful and chilling
retelling of Bram Stoker’s quintessential horror classic. In this
beautiful, evocative, and often surreal retelling of Dracula, a
fearsome enemy comes from the east, bringing with it horrors the
likes of which have never been seen in the British Empire. Standing
opposed are Wilhelmina “Mina†Murray and her stalwart
companions, united in a cabal that eclipses gender, nationality,
and station until they can achieve victory. The lines between
reality and fiction blur as Count Dracula’s influence grows
within the halls of Whitby School. The arrival of the eccentric
Professor Abraham Van Helsing offers Mina and the others a chance
to learn about the foul condition that afflicts their shared
companion. But will the professor’s knowledge be enough to
preserve them in the face of this unspeakable evil, or will their
fragile bonds be torn apart by the arrival of the Son of Dragon?

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.
'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.

'There he lay looking as if youth had been half-renewed, for the
white hair and moustache were changed to dark iron-grey, the cheeks
were fuller, and the white skin seemed ruby-red underneath; the
mouth was redder than ever, for on the lips were gouts of fresh
blood, which trickled from the corners of the mouth and ran over
the chin and neck. Even the deep, burning eyes seemed set amongst
the swollen flesh, for the lids and pouches underneath were
bloated. It seemed as if the whole awful creature were simply
gorged with blood; he lay like a filthy leech, exhausted with his
repletion.' Thus Bram Stoker, one of the greatest exponents of the
supernatural narrative, describes the demonic subject of his
chilling masterpiece Dracula, a truly iconic and unsettling tale of
vampirism.

Acting on behalf of his firm of solicitors, Jonathan Harker travels
to the Carpathian Mountains to finalize the sale of England's
Carfax Abbey to Transylvanian noble Count Dracula. Little does he
realize that, in doing so, he endangers all that he loves. For
Dracula is one of the Un-dead—a centuries-old vampire who sleeps
by day and stalks by night, feasting on the blood of his helpless
victims. Once on English soil, the count sets his sights on
Jonathan's circle of associates, among them his beloved wife
Mina. To thwart Dracula's evil designs, Jonathan and his friends
will have to accept as truth the most preposterous superstitions
concerning vampires, and in the company of legendary vampire hunter
Abraham Van Helsing, embark on an unholy adventure for
which even their worst nightmares have not prepared them.

Arguably the most famous vampire story in all of literature, Bram
Stoker's Dracula (1897) is the chilling tale of a monster of
incomprehensible evil and the band of heroes who desperately hunt
him. With twists and turns that unfold through journal entries,
letters, and other "found" writings, Stoker stages a dramatic
struggle between forces of good and evil, insanity and reason, and
fear and desire as the group contends with the mysterious Count
Dracula and his terrifying nature. This unforgettable masterpiece
of Gothic horror inspired several iconic adaptations and has become
the archetype for the vampire lore that continues to grip audiences
across countless genres and mediums.
On a trip to Transylvania, Jonathan Harker stays at an eerie castle
owned by Count Dracula. When strange things start to happen, and
the count escapes to London, Harker realizes that he and his
friends are in grave danger. These reader-favorite tiles are now
updated for enhanced Common Core State Standards support, including
discussion and writing prompts developed by a Common Core expert,
an expanded introduction, bolded glossary words and dynamic new
covers.
From Longman's Cultural Edition series, this new edition of
"Dracula," edited by Andrew Elfenbein, recovers the cultural
complexity of Bram Stoker's novel and offers a wide array of
contextualizing documents, including contemporary reviews and
articles about Eastern Europe, science, gender, and media. Rather
than tracing Dracula through all his later incarnations, this
edition offers ways to understand the late Victorian origins of
Bram Stoker's remarkable book. While "Dracula" never simply
reflects contemporary trends, reading it with knowledge of
contemporary events and debates can clarify what may otherwise seem
puzzling. Throughout, Stoker emphasizes that his vampire story
takes place not in a hazy, fictional past, but in a sharply
realized England of the 1890s. The materials in the sections of
Cultural Contexts illuminate the references to Victorian culture in
Stoker's version of this seemingly timeless story.
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!
An engaging classroom playscript. He is Nosferatu, the Undead. He
can walk through locked doors, change his shape. Sometimes he looks
like a man, sometimes a huge wolf-like dog, or a bat. He never
grows ill, never dies And if you invite him into your home, he will
take your life and your soul. New, innovative activities
specifically tailored to support the KS3 Framework for Teaching
English and help students to fulfil the Framework objectives.
Activities include work on Speaking and Listening, close text
analysis, and the structure of playscripts, and act as a
springboard for personal writing

Stoker studied math at Trinity College Dublin, graduating in 1867.
He worked as a civil servant, freelance journalist, drama critic,
editor and, most notably, as manager of the Lyceum Theatre.
Although best known for Dracula, Stoker wrote eighteen other books,
including Under the Sunset, The Snake's Pass, The Jewel of Seven
Stars, The Lady of the Shroud, and The Lair of the White Worm. He
died in 1912 at the age of sixty-four.
