A dreary castle, blood-thirsty vampires, open graves at midnight, and other gothic touches fill this chilling tale about a young Englishman’s confrontation with the evil Count Dracula. A horror romance as deathless as any vampire, the blood-curdling tale has spawned an endless variety of film and stage adaptations as well as a prime-time TV series. First published more than a century ago, it continues to hold readers spellbound.

The vampire novel that started it all, Bram Stoker's Dracula probes deeply into human identity, sanity, and the dark corners of Victorian sexuality and desire. When Jonathan Harker visits Transylvania to help Count Dracula purchase a London house, he makes horrifying discoveries about his client. Soon afterward, disturbing incidents unfold in England-an unmanned ship is wrecked at Whitby, strange puncture marks appear on a young woman's neck, and a lunatic asylum inmate raves about the imminent arrival of his "Master"-culminating in a battle of wits between the sinister Count and a determined group of adversaries.

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.

The original vampire
Since its publication in 1897, Dracula continues to terrify readers with its depiction of a vampire with an insatiable thirst for blood and the group of hunters determined to end his existence before he destroys a young woman's soul.

First published in 1897, this masterpiece of horror and suspense became an instant bestseller, transcending generation, language and culture to become one of the most perennially popular novels ever written. Now, Dracula is strikingly repackage to include a foreword by Elizabeth Kostova, author of the instant #1 New York Times bestseller The Historian. Bram Stoker has created a horrific and bleak allegorical saga of an eternally cursed being whose malevolent deeds reflect the questions of identity, sanity, morality, sexuality and desire that plagued Victorian society—and continue to plague the modern world.

在欧洲大陆上，从有历史记载的那一刻起，吸血鬼的传说便诞生了。
在众多来自西方的怪物中，吸血鬼也许是被人们记述最多的，最具魅力的一个了。吸血鬼的贵族气质和冷酷的魅力吸引了数不清的人去研究。
吸血鬼是一个古老而神秘的种族，他们没有心跳，没有脉搏，没有呼吸，也没有体温，他们永生不死。而他们却拥有自己的思想，他们会思考，会交谈，会四处走动，甚至还会受伤和死亡。他们的力量远远大于一般的人类，而且拥有常人无法获得的奇异能力，一些历史久远的吸血鬼所拥有的甚至可以与神相媲美。在这些吸血鬼的面前，人是不堪一击的。
在中世纪以后，随着浪漫主义的兴起，吸血鬼因为其独特的存在方式而被人们赋予了浓郁的性、情欲方面的色彩。这也正是吸血鬼神秘魅力的体现，人类对未知、死亡的恐惧和对永恒生命的渴望交织在一起所产生的复杂、矛盾的心理，自古以来就是许多传说出现的根源所在。

Travelling through two hundred years of popular culture and myth as well as graveyards and the wilds of Transylvania, Leslie S. Klinger illuminates every aspect of Bram Stoker's haunting novel (including an examination of the original typescript with its shockingly different ending). He investigates the many subtexts - from the masochistic, necrophilic, homoerotic and 'dentophilic' implications of the story to its political, economic, feminist, psychological and historical threads. Employing his superb literary detective skills, Klinger mines this 1897 classic for nuggets that will surprise even the most die-hard Dracula fans.

Bram Stoker's Dracula introduces one of literature's most famous characters, as the terrifying Count wreaks havoc on the band of hunters intent on stopping him.

As if by the irony of fate, there, beside me, was a grim memorial of man’s wickedness and lust for blood ─ a tombstone by the roadside… A man escaping the confines of London walks on Gibbet Hill in Surrey, drinking in the lush scenery, taking a breath from his busy life, when from this idyllic landscape emerges something out of a tombstone, and beside it three children, striking in their youth, yet with a presence that feels almost as old as the hills themselves.

The lost tale of “Gibbet Hill” by Bram Stoker, the world-famous author of Dracula , is published here for the first time in over 130 years.

Accompanied by the extraordinary story of its discovery by Brian Cleary, a piece by Bram Stoker biographer Paul Murray, and prints of artist Paul McKinley’s paintings inspired by the story, this book is a unique memento of a remarkable piece of Irish literary history.

All proceeds from the sale of this book will go to the Charlotte Stoker Fund for research on the prevention of acquired deafness in vulnerable newborn babies.

I am Dracula. And I bid you welcome to my house’

He is deathly pale. His fingernails are cut to sharp points. His teeth protrude menacingly from his mouth in clouds of rancid breath… Yet even Count Dracula’s unnerving appearance and the frightened reaction of the local peasants fail to warn Jonathan Harker, a young man from England, about his host. Little does Jonathan know that this is a land where babies are snatched for their blood and wolves howl menacingly from the forest, where reality is far more frightening than superstition. What’s more, it’s going to be up to him to stop the world’s most bloodthirsty predator…
