Publisher's Synopsis
Vampirism: the unrestrained exploitation, ruin, or degradation of others. In literature, monsters are often symbols of humanity's worst, everlasting demons that haunt us throughout time. Bram Stoker's legendary gothic work ponders our darkest, primal fears, and presents an antagonist that perfectly represents all that the Victorian Era deplored and repressed: lust, deviousness, disease, but also far more complicated fears of the foreign or mystifying. Today, the horror of a being that is neither dead nor alive, that subsists on hosts, and that seems intent on overtaking the globe, has never felt so apt.
