Notes

Dracula is a Gothic horror novel by Bram Stoker, first published in the UK in 1897 and in the US in 1899. This book introduced the iconic character of Count Dracula and helped define modern vampire fiction. The story is told through a series of journal entries, letters, and newspaper clippings, following a group of people who band together to stop Dracula from spreading his undead curse from Transylvania to England. Central to the plot is Jonathan Harker, a solicitor who becomes trapped in Dracula’s castle, and Professor Van Helsing, who leads the fight against the vampire. The novel explores themes of fear, superstition, sexuality, and the clash between modern science and ancient evil. Dark, suspenseful, and atmospheric, Dracula remains a cornerstone of horror literature.
