DRACULA (PB)

 The 1897 Gothic horror novel
Dracula
was the pioneer in steering various narratives on vampires. Bram Stoker’s
Count Dracula continues to evoke the creative fantasies of many artists
working across theatre, cinema and television. The latter mediums have played
a significant role in the novel’s success in the twentieth and the
twenty-first century. The novel chronicles the battle between Count Dracula
and a small group of people led by Professor Abraham Van Helsing as the
former attempts to move to England from Transylvania, where he wreaked havoc
for hundreds of years.

An epistolary novel, Dracula’s narrative unfolds through a series of
letters, diary entries, newspaper articles and telegrams.
