Bram Stoker's timeless gothic tale, now available as a Harper Perennial Olive Edition.
Originally published in 1897, Dracula is one of the most enduring and influential works of literature ever written, spawning countless adaptations and reimaginings from every generation of readers.
Stoker's epistolary novel follows young English lawyer Jonathan Harker who arrives in Transylvania to meet with Count Dracula, one of his firm's clients. Feared by the locals, the count is indeed a mysterious man, stranger than Harker could ever imagine--a vampire who lives on human blood. After Harker fails to kill Dracula, the vampire travels to England, where he threatens the lives of Harker's fiancée, Mina, and her friend, Lucy.
When Harker finally returns home, he reunites with Mina, and the brave pair risk everything to destroy the fiendish monster.
Told through letters, diary entries, and newspaper articles, Dracula is ingrained in the collective imagination and remains as haunting and eerie today as when it was published more than a hundred years ago.
