About this book

When solicitor Jonathan Harker travels to a remote castle in Transylvania, he discovers his host is no ordinary nobleman. Back in England, his fiancée Mina and her friend Lucy become entangled in a growing nightmare as a shape-shifting evil spreads through Whitby and London. Told through diaries, letters, and newspaper clippings, Stoker's gothic novel builds dread from everyday documents, ordinary people piecing together a threat the modern world barely believes in. A story of courage, superstition, and the fight against an ancient predator in the heart of a great city, it remains the definitive vampire tale.
