Synopsis
When Jonathan Harker visits Transylvania to help Count Dracula with the purchase of a London house, he makes a series of horrific discoveries about his client.
Soon afterwards, various bizarre incidents unfold in England: an apparently unmanned ship is wrecked off the coast of Whitby; a young woman discovers strange puncture marks on her neck; and the inmate of a lunatic asylum raves about the 'Master' and his imminent arrival.
In *Dracula*, Bram Stoker created one of the great masterpieces of the horror genre, brilliantly evoking a nightmare world of vampires and vampire hunters and also illuminating the dark corners of Victorian sexuality and desire.
Part of Penguin's beautiful hardback Clothbound Classics series, designed by the award-winning [Coralie Bickford-Smith](/author/coralie-bickford-smith/2396015), these delectable and collectible editions are bound in high-quality colourful, tactile cloth with foil stamped into the design.
