Synopsis:

“I am Dracula. Welcome to my house. Enter freely and of your own will”.

Jonathan Harker has little idea that his business trip to meet the mysterious Count of Transylvania would turn into his worst nightmare. Held captive in Dracula’s strange, dark castle, Jonathan discovers that the Count is in fact a vampire, who has been living on human blood for centuries! Soon, Dracula claims his first victim, the beautiful Lucy Westenra, a friend of Jonathan’s wife, Mina. But this is just the beginning of Dracula’s cruel intentions.

Now, it will take some clever and courageous people – Professor Van Helsing, Dr Seward, Arthur Holmwood, Quincey Morris, Jonathan and Mina Harker – to outwit and completely destroy the indomitable Dracula.

Packed with action, thrill and horror, and written in an epistolary form, this mother-of-all gothic novels is a classic page-turner.

Review:

I am a huge fan of Van Helsing movie which was based on the novels by Bram Stoker and Mary Shelly. This is the main reason I laid my hands on this classic book. The first few chapters are prodigious. When you start this book, you will be instantly entangled into the world of Dracula.

The story makes headway in the right direction accompanied by strong characters throughout the book. I personally admire the roles of Van Helsing and Mina Harker. They are adroit at connecting clues and even make some felicitous decisions dauntlessly. The author carried out the whole story by affixing each character's journals impeccably. This is the first time I witnessed this type of writing and I adored it a lot.

“It is a matter of life and death, perhaps even more!”.

To know further about this secluded world of Dracula, you must read this book. This illustrated edition is a perfect treat for visual and it’s literary work.

I highly recommend this book to all the Dracula story lovers and of course to all the fans of Bram Stoker.

Happy reading!!!
