1897’s Dracula is the ultimate classic of Gothic horror, renowned for its explorations of madness, erotics and desire, and selfhood.
Jonathan Harker visits Transylvania to help Count Dracula purchase a property in England, but Harker quickly gets tangled in forces darker than he could’ve imagined, becoming a tortured tool for the development of Dracula’s power.
Told through letters, newspaper articles, and diary entries, Bram Stoker’s remarkable story charts the bloody events that follow Dracula from his Romanian home to England and back, involving a cast of characters that includes Harker’s fiancé Mina Murray and her dear friend Lucy Westenra—symbols of purity corrupted along the way—and, of course, the famed vampire hunter Abraham van Helsing.
