Those who cannot find their own reflection in Bram Stoker's still-living creation are surely the undead' NEW YORK TIMES BOOK REVIEW Arriving at Castle Dracula, the vast ruined home of a Transylvanian nobleman, a young English visitor finds himself thrust into a realm of sensation and horror beyond his most nightmarish dreams. His experiences give rise to an urgent campaign to destroy the vampire count, to eliminate Dracula's cult of the living dead, and to triumph over a centuries-old evil. Bram Stoker's masterpiece is a thriller of such hypnotic intensity that it has captured millions of readers around the world and inspired its own literature and mythology of the supernatural. This beautiful new edition includes a foreword by Elizabeth Kostova, the internationally bestselling author of THE HISTORIAN.
The thing that struck me most about this book is the insight it gives into Victorian social attitudes. The phraseology and idioms of the period are equally richly illustrative of those of the period. I wholeheartedly commend it, on those grounds alone. The story is longer than I expected - over 420 pages of small typeface in this edition - and it builds to the inevitable climax that is no secret to billions of us, I imagine. This is my only complaint about the novel: whereas the build up is excruciatingly slow for anyone awaiting the triumph of mankind, the denouement is (in my opinion) all-too brief and an anticlimax. I choose to imagine that, had he foreseen the worldwide phenomena he was creating, Bram Stoker would have lavished more intensity and detail on the concluding battle between good and evil and I am pleased I chose to read the story continues to re-told after more than a century.Read full review
