Description

An Apple Books Classic edition.

Few characters have seized readers’ imaginations quite like Count Dracula of Transylvania, the hero of Bram Stoker’s classic. The 1897 novel put vampires front and center on the cultural map, providing direct inspiration for an entire subgenre of bloodsucker fiction - including blockbusters like theTwilight series and Anne Rice’s Vampire Chronicles - and spawning hundreds of movie adaptations!

Stoker’s novel is a thrill ride, following Dracula as he moves from Transylvania to England in search of fresh blood, while a small but dedicated group attempts to thwart him. Want more Stoker? Check out his great-grandnephew Dacre Stoker’s 2018 novel, Dracul.

    Dracula - Bram Stroker I love reading classics around October and Halloween. I love that Mina, was the reason that Jonathan and Van Helsing and the others found Dracula. I loved this story and the focus on love and friendship and being together. I love how Mina and Lucy were portrayed especially compared to other works of the time. I found out that there’s more books in this universe so I’d definitely be reading those. ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ / Out of 5 Stars ⭐️ # of Pages 🌙 589 pages Release Date 🌟 5/12/1986 Format 💫 Physical, Audio, Digital Series 🌙 Dracula, #1 Genre/Tropes ✨ paranormal, horror, Victorian fiction, Victorian era, historical fiction, vampires Favorite Character ☀️ Mina Favorite Line 🌟 ‘For the dead travel fast’ ‘The castle is a veritable prison, and I am a prisoner!’ “We learn from failure, not from success!” “We want no proofs. We ask none to believe us! This boy will some day know what a brave and gallant woman his mother is. Already he knows her sweetness and loving care. Later on he will understand how some men so loved her, that they did dare much for her sake.”

    To be able to read this book for free on my mobile device. I haven’t read a book to completion in probably 20 years or more and now I want to read more and more. This story is incredible and recommend it to anyone. Especially those that aren’t “into” reading. You’ll enjoy yourself without a doubt.
  • Great read!

    Got book! Loved how the used the journal entries instead of just writing a story! Only thing I disliked was how long they dragged out Lucy illness & death. 9/10

    It dragged in some parts, but the ending made it worth it! As another reviewer stated, it’s awesome to read where/how an entire genre of horror got started. 10/10

    To realize there was no precedent to this story, makes it that much more impressive. The story itself, obviously a classic. But the literary vehicle used in its’ telling holds the reader and makes the story fly. Much more enjoyable than I expected!
  • Epic Book but a Bit Long

    The book was awesome and the epistolary format is pretty cool. I do with that it was a bit more brief.
