Dracula

Dracula is a legendary Gothic horror novel written by Bram Stoker and published in 1897. The plot centers on the menacing Transylvanian vampire, Count Dracula, who moves to England to spread the undead curse, and the desperate battle led by Professor Abraham Van Helsing to stop him. Written in an epistolary format (composed of diary entries, letters, and newspaper clippings), the book redefined vampire lore and laid the foundation for the modern vampire genre in world culture.
