Dracula
by Bram Stoker
A true master of storytelling, Dracula has transcended generation, language, and culture to become one of the most popular novels ever written. It is the epitome of a story about suspense and horror that has one of the most terrifying characters ever born in literature: Count Dracula is a tragic ghost who lives at night, feeds on the blood of the living, and whose evil passions prey on the innocent, helpless, and beautiful. But Dracula also acts as a brutal allegorical epic of an eternally cursed creature, reflecting the dark underside of the highly moralistic era in which the nocturnal atrocities were originally written, and the corrupt desires that continue to torment the modern human condition.
