Bram Stoker's classic vampire story has haunted and disturbed the
modern imagination for a hundred years. Set in Transylvania, London,
and Whitby, it pits the sinister but seductive Count Dracula against
a team of vampire-hunters armed only with typewriters, phonographs,
and syringes. They must obstruct his plan to conquer London before
the forces of madness and depravity overwhelm them all. Vividly
presented in the form of diaries and letters, the narrative blends
ancient superstitions with modern technologies, and pulsates with
obsessive fears of foreignness and sexuality. Blood, information, and
hypnotic energy circulate furiously among the characters until the
tale reaches its violent climax. This new edition has an introduction
and bibliography which draw on the latest scholarship, and detailed
notes which explain literary, geographical, and technological
allusions in the novel.
