Dracula by Bram Stoker is a classic Gothic horror novel first published in 1897. Told through letters, diary entries, and newspaper reports, it follows Jonathan Harker, a young lawyer who travels to Transylvania and has a terrifying encounter with the mysterious Count Dracula.
Dracula eventually leaves Transylvania and travels to England, where he begins hunting innocent victims, including people in the seaside town of Whitby. A small group of people, led by the brilliant Professor Abraham Van Helsing, joins forces to track down the vampire and stop him.
Inspired by folklore, legends, and history, Stoker’s novel helped shape the modern image of the vampire. Today, Dracula remains one of the most famous and influential vampire stories ever written, and Count Dracula is one of the most recognizable characters in literature.
