Description
Bram Stoker's Dracula is a gothic masterpiece of horror that has captivated readers for over a century. Since its original publication in 1897, this novel has spoken aloud some of our deepest cultural anxieties, including fear of sexuality, xenophobia, and distrust of The Other. The Count's menace lies not solely in his deadly bloodlust, but also in his ability to hide his malfeasance behind power and privilege. When Jonathan Harker unearths the vampire's secret, he unwittingly starts a war between good and evil with disastrous repercussions. This outbreak of an ancient threat in a modern world introduced a radical new element to vampire folklore, one that has only gained significance in the twenty-first century. A new introduction by Silvia Moreno-Garcia explores this novel's enduring relevance, while Alexander Chee grounds the story in the potential queerness of Stoker's literary circle. This beautifully illustrated edition is a worthwhile read for anyone interested in horror and the supernatural.
