Dracula

Front Cover
"When Jonathan Harker visits Transylvania to help Count Dracula purchase a London house, he makes horrifying discoveries. Soon afterwards, disturbing incidents unfold in England: an unmanned ship is wrecked at Whitby; beautiful Lucy Westenra slowly succumbs to a mysterious, wasting illness, her blood drained away; and the inmate of a lunatic asylum raves about the arrival of his 'Master'. In the ensuring battle of wills between the sinister Count and a determined group of adversaries, Bram Stoker created a master piece of the horror genre, probing into questions of identity, sanity and the dark corners of Victorian desire."--P [4] of cover.
