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.

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

Bram Stoker se proslavil především upířím románem Drakula. Ve svých povídkách se představuje jako tvůrce jemného literárního strachu, barvitých kulis, dramatických střetů i nečekaných rozuzlení s ironickým nádechem. Jeho povídky se právem řadí ke klasice strašidelné literatury, ať už je to titulní "Drákulův host", poeovská "Indiánská žena" či proslavený "Soudcův dům". Knihu uzavírá literární portrét Brama Stokera z pera Ondřeje Müllera, který autora představuje v překvapivém světle na pozadí viktoriánské Anglie.

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.
