Dracula

WE ARE IN Transylvania; and Transylvania is not England. Our ways are not your ways, and there shall be to you many strange things.’

Earnest and naive solicitor Jonathan Harker travels to Transylvania to organise the estate of the infamous Count Dracula at his crumbling castle in the ominous Carpathian Mountains. Through notes and diary entries, Harker keeps track of the horrors and terrors that beset him at the castle, telling his fiancé Mina of the Count’s supernatural powers and his own imprisonment. Although Harker eventually manages to escape and reunite with Mina, his experiences have led to a mental breakdown of sorts.

Meanwhile in England, Mina’s friend Lucy has been bitten and begins to turn into a vampire. With the help of Professor Van Helsing, a previous suitor of Lucy’s, Seward, and Lucy’s fiancé Holmwood attempt to thwart Count Dracula and his attempts on Lucy and consequently Mina’s life.

Arguably the most enduring Gothic novel of the 19th Century, Bram Stoker’s Dracula is as chilling today in its depiction of the vampire world and its exploration of Victorian values as it was at its time of publication.

Greve Dracula, en fasansväckande vampyr, har lämnat sitt slott och färdats till England i sitt sökande efter nya offer. Men hans mörka hemlighet avslöjas en grupp vänner får veta sanningen, och för att skydda sig själva och andra från ett blodigt slut måste de sätta stopp för Dracula.

Illustrerade skräckklassiker är en serie böcker med varsamt moderniserade skräckinjagande favoriter - Dr Jekyll och Mr Hyde, Dracula, Frankenstein och Legenden om Sleepy Hollow - återgivna med lättfattligt språk, fantasieggande illustrationer, och alldeles lagom långa för barn i bokslukaråldern.
