Is a seminal Gothic horror novel that solidified many of the vampire tropes we know today. Told through an epistolary format—a collection of journal entries, letters, telegrams, and newspaper clippings—the story begins with young English solicitor Jonathan Harker’s ill-fated business trip to Count Dracula’s remote castle in Transylvania.

Harker soon realizes he is a prisoner and witnesses the sinister, supernatural nature of his host. When Dracula eventually travels to England to spread his vampiric curse, a small group of determined individuals, led by the enigmatic Professor Abraham Van Helsing, band together to hunt down and destroy the ancient evil.
