We are in Transylvania; and Transylvania is not England. Our ways are not your ways, and there shall be to you many strange things.
Earnest and naive solicitor Jonathan Harker travels to Transylvania to organise the estate of the infamous Count Dracula at his crumbling castle in the ominous Carpathian Mountains. Through notes and diary entries, Harker keeps track of the horrors and terrors that beset him at the castle, telling his fiancΓ© Mina of the Countβs supernatural powers and his own imprisonment. Although Harker eventually manages to escape and reunite with Mina, his experiences have led to a mental breakdown of sorts.
Meanwhile in England, Minaβs friend Lucy has been bitten and begins to turn into a vampire. With the help of Professor Van Helsing, a previous suitor of Lucyβs, Seward, and Lucyβs fiancΓ© Holmwood attempt to thwart Count Dracula and his attempts on Lucy and consequently Minaβs life.
Arguably the most enduring Gothic novel of the 19th Century, Bram Stokerβs Dracula is as chilling today in its depiction of the vampire world and its exploration of Victorian values as it was at its time of publication.
