Dracula and Other Horror Classics
Count Dracula has inspired countless movies, books and plays. But few, if any, have been fully faithful to Bram Stoker's original, best-selling novel of mystery and horror, love and death, sin and redemption. Dracula chronicles the vampire's journey from Transylvania to the nighttime streets of London. There, he searches for the blood of strong men and beautiful women while his enemies plot to rid the world of his frightful power. Today's critics see Dracula as a virtual textbook on Victorian repression of the erotic and fear of female sexuality. In it, Stoker created a new word for terror, a new myth to feed our nightmares and a character who will outlive us all.

A chilling masterpiece of the horror genre, "Dracula" also illuminated dark corners of Victorian sexuality. When Jonathan Harker visits Transylvania to advise Count Dracula on a London home, he makes a horrifying discovery. Soon afterwards, a number of disturbing incidents unfold in England: an unmanned ship is wrecked at Whitby; strange puncture marks appear on a young woman's neck; and the inmate of a lunatic asylum raves about the arrival of his 'Master', while a determined group of adversaries prepares to face the terrifying Count. This is the Penguin English Library - 100 editions of the best fiction in English, from the eighteenth century and the very first novels to the beginning of the First World War.

HarperCollins is proud to present its new range of best-loved, essential classics. 'We are in Transylvania; and Transylvania is not England. Our ways are not your ways, and there shall be to you many strange things.' Earnest and naive solicitor Jonathan Harker travels to Transylvania to organise the estate of the infamous Count Dracula at his crumbling castle in the ominous Carpathian Mountains. Through notes and diary entries, Harker keeps track of the horrors and terrors that beset him at the castle, telling his fiance Mina of the Count's supernatural powers and his own imprisonment. Although Harker eventually manages to escape and reunite with Mina, his experiences have led to a mental breakdown of sorts. Meanwhile in England, Mina's friend Lucy has been bitten and begins to turn into a vampire. With the help of Professor Van Helsing, a previous suitor of Lucy's, Seward, and Lucy's fiance Holmwood attempt to thwart Count Dracula and his attempts on Lucy and consequently Mina's life. Arguably the most enduring Gothic novel of the 19th Century, Bram Stoker's Dracula is as chilling today in its depiction of the vampire world and its exploration of Victorian values as it was at its time of publication.

A fehér féreg fészke
Adam Salton nagybátyja hívására Ausztráliából hazaérkezik Angliába, hogy átvegye örökségét, a családi birtokot. A fiatalember azonban már az első naptól kezdve különös eseményekkel szembesül: a helyi nobilitások egymás ellen intrikálnak, látszólag természetfölötti erőket is igénybe véve, a környékbeli jószágokat pedig kígyók tizedelik. És mintha ez nem lenne elég, egy legendás szörnyeteg is feltűnik, a Fehér Féreg, amely embereket is képes magával ragadni föld alatti odvába, ha megéhezik. Bram Stoker, Drakula figurájának világhírű megalkotója újabb rémségeket zúdít a borzongani vágyó olvasó nyakába, de a regény első magyar nyelvű közreadásával nem csupán ijesztgetni szándékozunk, hanem tisztelegni is az ír irodalom klasszikusa előtt. Ha pedig a cím ismerősnek tűnik, az nem véletlen, mert a hazai mozik is vetítették a mű filmváltozatát, A fehér féreg búvóhelye címmel. “Szürreális mese, túlcsorduló fekete humorral.” – The New York Times “Noha munkásságának többi része homályba veszett a Drakula kirobbanó és tartós sikere mellett, valamennyi írása hátborzongató élményt nyújt, és akár kötelező olvasmány lehetne.” – Library Journal

Dracula
Dracula je nepochybne jednou z "ikonografických" postáv popkultúry 20. storočia. O jeho nesmiernej obľube svedčí neuveriteľne vysoký počet nových reedícií na celom svete, ale aj neustály záujem filmárov, divadelníkov, či autorov grafických noviel, ktorý neutícha ani viac ako sto rokov od "narodenia" tejto svojráznej literárnej postavy.Tento zdanlivo jednorozmerný príbeh sa dá čítať viacerými spôsobmi - nie je to iba strašidelno-dobrodružná story s typickými rekvizitami fin de si?cle, ale aj romantický, milostný príbeh o nenaplnenosti, šifrovaná psychoanalytická hádanka a v neposlednom rade skvelá mystifikácia.
V pôvodnej a neskrátenej podobe vychádza Dracula na Slovensku po prvý raz.

Dracula
This quintessential vampire story helped to reshape the world of horror fiction.Irish author Bram Stoker introduced the character of Count Dracula and provided much of the basis of modern vampire fiction in his 1897 novel Dracula. Written as a series of letters, newspaper clippings, diary entries, and ships’ logs, the story begins with lawyer Jonathan Harker journeying to meet Dracula at his remote castle to complete a real estate transaction. Harker soon discovers that he is being held prisoner, and that Dracula has a rather disquieting nocturnal life. Touching on themes such as Victorian culture, immigration, and colonialism, among others, this timeless classic is sure to keep readers on the edge of their seats! Featuring colorful sprayed edges and a heat-burnished cover with foil stamping, this edition of Dracula is a stylish addition to your bookshelf.
