Bram Stoker's novel, Dracula, is a classic piece of literature. If you were to ask people what comes to mind when they think about vampires, most would be quick to reference Count Dracula or Stoker, his creator. Count Dracula has become an iconic figure in popular culture and his name is now synonymous with vampire lore, having fully sunk his teeth into the horror genre. While most people have heard of Dracula and watched (or read) one of the many adaptations of his story that came to be over the last century, many have yet to read the original story by Stoker and discover the intricacies that make it one of the most celebrated horror novels of all time. Steeped in mystery and bone-chilling descriptions, characters, and atmosphere, Dracula has provided the blueprints for vampiric content in the decades since it was first published as I Am Dracula in 1897. Nowadays, it isn't always possible to find the time to read a novel such as Dracula with an already busy schedule. For that reason, I have created this essential guide to everything you need to know about Count Dracula, and it only takes about an hour of your time to read, compared to the 27 chapters of the original novel. This is a must-read for the avid horror fan who wants to know more about the roots of their favorite modern vampire films, series, and books. So sit back, relax, and join me as I walk you through the horror classic, Dracula.
