‘Dracula’ is an epistolary Gothic horror novel written in 1897 by Bram Stoker, an Irish author who became famous after writing about the vampire named Count Dracula, who later on had many interpretations (theater, movie and television).
Dracula was the first significant vampire in literature and has served as a template for all the vampires who have come after him.
Bram Stoker visited the seaside town of Whitby in England in 1890 and found inspiration for his excellent novel ‘Dracula’. Before writing it, Stoker met the Hungarian writer Ármin Vámbéry, who was also a traveller and told dark stories about the Carpathians, inspiring Stoker, who then spent a few years researching on European mythological stories and folklore about vampires.
The novel narrates the story of Dracula, who attempts to move from Transylvania and go to England to find some new blood and try to spread the curse of the undead. It also tells the story of the fight between Dracula and a group of men and women who had Professor Abraham Van Helsing as their leader. The text of ‘Dracula’ is made of diary entries, telegrams, letters, journal and newspaper clippings.
