'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.

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-deadâa 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 Stokerâs 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 âMinaâ 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 Draculaâs 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 professorâs 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?
