About This Item
1930 DRACULA Bram Stoker Horror Gothic Occult Transylvania Vampires RARE
"Dracula" is a gothic horror novel by Bram Stoker, first published in 1897. This classic novel tells the story of Count Dracula's attempt to move from Transylvania to England so that he may find new blood and spread the undead curse. The novel is written primarily in a, then unique, now iconic, journal format and includes elements of horror, romance, and adventure. Dracula has been labeled as one of the most important, popular, and scariest horror novels of all time. It helped establish many horror tropes that would appear in subsequent vampire fantasies in film, on stage, and in print.
