Dracula
Though Stoker did not invent vampires - and in fact based his character's life-in-death on extensive research into European folklore - his novel elevated the nocturnal monster to iconic stature, spawning a genre of stories and movies which flourishes to this day.
The most famous vampire story ever written, Bram Stoker's Dracula (1897) has enthralled generations of readers as completely as Count Dracula enthrals his victims.
The most famous vampire story ever written, Bram Stoker's Dracula (1897) has enthralled generations of readers as completely as Count Dracula enthrals his victims.
Though Stoker did not invent vampires—and in fact based his character's life-in-death on extensive research into European folklore—his novel elevated the nocturnal monster to iconic stature, spawning a genre of stories and movies which flourishes to this day. A century of imitation has done nothing to diminish its power.
As the suave and chilling Count stalks his prey from a crumbling castle in the Carpathians to a lunatic asylum in Purfleet and the bedrooms of his swooning female victims, the drama builds to a fever pitch of sensuality and suspense.
Dracula is not only a classic of Gothic horror and a wellspring of modern mythology; it is also irresistible entertainment.

About the Author
Abraham "Bram" Stoker (8 November 1847 - 20 April 1912) was an Irish novelist and short story writer, best known today for his 1897 Gothic novel Dracula. During his lifetime, he was better known as the personal assistant of actor Henry Irving and business manager of the Lyceum Theatre in London, which Irving owned. Bram Stoker died at No 26 St George's Square in 1912. He was cremated and his ashes placed in a display urn at Golders Green Crematorium. His son, Noel Stoker's ashes were added to that urn. To visit Bram Stoker's remains at Golders Green, visitors must be escorted to the room the urn is housed in for fear of vandalism
