Dracula

by Bram Stoker · 1897

When young English solicitor Jonathan Harker travels to Transylvania to finalize a real estate deal with the enigmatic Count Dracula, he little suspects the nightmare that awaits him. Trapped in a crumbling castle with a host who never eats, never sleeps, and casts no reflection, Harker soon realizes he is a prisoner—and the Count is something far older and more terrible than any man. Meanwhile, in England, a dark presence begins to stalk the streets of Whitby and London, leaving a trail of blood and madness. As a small band of brave men and women—including the brilliant Dr. Van Helsing—unites to combat the ancient evil, they must confront the terrifying truth: Dracula has come to claim new victims, and his power grows with every drop of blood he drinks. A masterpiece of Gothic horror, Bram Stoker's Dracula weaves diary entries, letters, and newspaper clippings into a chilling tale of obsession, faith, and the eternal battle between light and darkness. This is the novel that defined the modern vampire and continues to haunt readers over a century later.
