Dracula, 1897, by Bram Stoker
The classic vampire novel that has inspired spin off films and piqued interest in the macabre tales of the un-dead.
The tale is told through journal entries and letters written by key characters -bar Count Dracula himself. The story centres around the journey undertaken by the young solicitor Jonathan Harker, who travels to Count Dracula’s castle in Transylvania to facilitate the completion of a real-estate transaction. A naive Harker almost loses his life, and unwittingly assists the Count in his sinister plan, which you will discover for yourself when you read the book…
Stoker is a great story teller and beautifully sets the tone for the novel, as you sense the disquiet creeping into the lives of Jonathan and his associates.
