Dracula is a unique horror masterpiece and the most famous of all vampire tales. Few readers will ever forget the nightmare atmosphere of Count Dracula`s sinister castle in Transylvania, the prowlings of the Un - dead, the blood - curdling tension as BramStoker`s tale races towards a thrilling climax. Dracula recounts the struggle of a group of men and a woman - Dr Seward, Dr Van Helsing and Jonathan Harker and his wife Mina - to destroy the vampire, whose sinister earth - filled coffins are discovered by Harker in a ruined chapel adjoining Dr Seward`s asylum. Cruel and noble, evilly and fatally desirable to women, Dracula possesses a terrifying lust for power and, like Dr Jekyll or Conan Doyle` Moriarty, is one of the immortal fictional monsters.
