Must Read Classics: Bram Stoker's Dracula: Dracula

By Catholic Church and Bram Stoker

Written in 1897, Dracula is a Gothic Horror novel by Irish author Bram Stoker. Titled 'The Un-Dead' during writing, Stoker only changed the name to the iconic 'Dracula' days before it's first printing. Written in epistolary format as a series of letters, diary entries and newspaper articles, the events portrayed take place in England and Transylvania during the 1890's. The novel was first published by Archibold Constable & Company in London in May 1897. Costing six shillings, the novel was bound yellow cloth and had a red title. Dracula was not an instant success, but did earn some excellent reviews, including one in the London Daily Mail in June 1897, whose critic compared the book favorably to such horror tales as Mary Shelley's Frankenstein and Edgar Allan Poe's The Fall of the House of Usher. Dracula did not make commercial success until the various Dracula Hollywood movies entered the fray, beginning with Universal Pictures' horror classic Dracula in 1931.

This edition contains a deleted section which surfaced in the 1980's in Stoker's handwriting. It's been suggested Stoker removed this section as a sequel was originally planned...
