a horror novel that tells the story of young
protagonists in the world of vampirism and
the thirst for power presented by the famous

One of the most spectacular novels of
the 19th century, Dracula Bram Stoker still
frightens his readers today as he did more
than a century ago. The story of Terror,

has become a modern myth and has

Dracula Bram Stoker combined Central
European folk tales of nosferatu, or the undead,
with historical accounts of the prince
of the fifteenth century, Vlad the Impaler,
who allegedly impaled 100,000 victims and
received the epithet Dracula (a derivative of
the Romanian drac or "devil"). Critics have
seen the vampirism of history as a Victorian
literary sublimation of sexuality.
A sequel to the 2009 original Dracula:
The Un-Dead, based on the novelist's notes
and excisions, was written by Dacre Stoker
(author's great-grandson) and Ian Holt. It
was set in London in 1912 and featured
Bram Stoker as a character. You may want
to know another novel genre like The
Feather Pillow, which is also creepy.
Bram Stoker's novel Dracula takes place
with young real estate lawyer Jonathan
Harker and his trip to Romania to complete
negotiations with Count Dracula of Transylvania.
Arriving at the mansion, he began
to detail strange behaviors in the Count,
such as his disappearances at night, lack of
appetite, and reflection in the mirrors.
