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.

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.
Decorative, durable, and collectible, these books offer hours of
pleasure to readers young and old and are an indispensable
cornerstone for any home library.
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?

'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.

Far, far away, there is a beautiful Country which no human eye has
ever seen in waking hours. Under the Sunset it lies, where the
distant horizon bounds the day, and where the clouds, splendid with
light and color, give a promise of the glory and beauty that
encompass it. Sometimes it is given to us to see it in dreams. This
Country is the Land Under the Sunset. This is the story of that
Country, and what happened when evil came to abide there. It is a
story all of us must hear.
Bram Stoker is of course best known for his novel Dracula which was
published in 1897. The novel set the standard for gothic horror
fiction and has never been surpassed. In this Omnibus edition are
five novels and a book of short stories. Prepare to be terrified:
Dracula (1897), The Jewel of Seven Stars (1903), The Man (aka: The
Gates of Life) (1905), The Lady of the Shroud (1909), The Lair of
the White Worm (aka: The Garden of Evil) (1911), Dracula's Guest
and Other Weird Stories (1914), The Dualitists (1887)
From the author who brought you Dracula comes a dark tale of
possession and ancient magic. An eccentric archeologist has become
obsessed with the mummy of the Egyptian queen Tera. His attempts to
raise her from the dead have left him in a catatonic stupor. It now
falls on his daughter Margaret and the young lawyer Malcolm Ross to
discover the secrets of this ancient curse in time to stop Tera
from inflicting her will on Victorian England. Bram Stoker s
spine-tingling novel, based on his own interest in Egyptology,
helped give rise to a new horror genre featuring mummies.
