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.

Introduction and Notes by Dr David Rogers, Kingston University.
'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.

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.
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!

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.
 First published in 1897, Bram Stoker's Dracula established
the ground rules for virtually all vampire fiction written in its
wake. This volume is one of Barnes &
Noble's Collectible Editions classics. Each volume features
authoritative texts by the world's greatest authors in an
exquisitely designed foil-stamped binding, with
distinctive colored edging and an attractive ribbon bookmark.

excitement as never before. When Jonathan Harker is summoned to
Transylvania to finalize a property deal for the mysterious Count
Dracula, he stumbles upon an ancient evil he is unprepared to face.
When that evil escapes to England, the entire nation is suddenly
under threat and only an aged vampire hunter, Professor Abraham Van
Helsing, can put a stop to the bloodshed. Designed to appeal to the
booklover, the Macmillan Collector's Library is a series of
beautiful gift editions of much loved classic titles. Macmillan

Truly a "Dracula" for both art and book lovers, this new edition of
the most famous of vampire tales completely overhauls the notion of
how a literary classic might be creatively revisited. James Pyman
is already famed for his eerily exacting and hallucinatory
draftsmanship, as well as for his relish for the exploration of
book formats such as cartoon or children's books, and is therefore
ideally suited to the illustration of this volume. Herein, Pyman
returns to the original text, illustrating a line or phrase from
each of the novel's 27 chapters in a series of wonderfully sinister
and weirdly clinical pencil drawings. The book, which Bram Stoker
composed as a series of diaries, letters and newspaper cuttings,
has been typeset by designer John Morgan with a different typeface
allocated to each character--each font being based on those in use
at the time of the book's original publication. As a final
flourish, the striking bright yellow clothbound cover, with its
vivid red lettering, is based on that of the first UK edition.
A collector's edition of the most famous vampire novel of all time,
illustrated with the artwork of Edward Gorey. This collector's
edition of Bram Stoker's Dracula is illustrated with artwork that
Edward Gorey created for his stage designs for the novel's Broadway
stage adaptation. The book also features an introduction and
appendices by renowned fantasy editor Marvin Kaye.
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.
