Dracula

04 Jun 2025

Description

Send us a textDracula, published in 1897 by Irish author Bram Stoker, is a seminal Gothic horror novel that introduced the iconic vampire Count Dracula, shaping the modern vampire archetype. Written in an epistolary format through letters, journal entries, and newspaper clippings, it follows solicitor Jonathan Harker’s journey to Transylvania to assist the mysterious Count with a property purchase in England, only to uncover Dracula’s vampiric nature and malevolent plans. As Dracula invades England, targeting Harker’s fiancée Mina Murray and her friend Lucy Westenra, a group led by Professor Abraham Van Helsing battles to destroy the ancient evil. Drawing on Eastern European folklore, Victorian anxieties about sexuality, immigration, and science, and Stoker’s research into vampire myths, the novel explores themes of good versus evil, faith, and human resilience, cementing its enduring influence on literature and popular culture.Hi fans!
