    About this ebook

    HarperCollins is proud to present its new range of best-loved, essential classics.

    ‘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 fiancé Mina of the Count’s 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, Mina’s friend Lucy has been bitten and begins to turn into a vampire. With the help of Professor Van Helsing, a previous suitor of Lucy’s, Seward, and Lucy’s fiancé Holmwood attempt to thwart Count Dracula and his attempts on Lucy and consequently Mina’s life.

    Arguably the most enduring Gothic novel of the 19th Century, Bram Stoker’s 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.

      Were it not for audiobooks, I don't think I'd have read any classics in the last two years. This is a great way to slowly slog through the ones you've been meaning to read just because, but don't think you'll like much. Dracula has been on my to-read list since middle school, but only because it's a thing I felt I should read, not because I was especially interested. Thank you, audiobook, for making it so that I did not need to DNF!

      For real, if I had been reading this in print format, I really do not think we would have been friends. The story goes by so slowly, the characters are flat, and there is very little action for a horror novel. Add to this the fact that pretty much ALL of pop culture is one big giant spoiler for the plot, and the book is insanely boring at most points.

      Even worse, pop culture took all the good ideas out of Dracula and so, basically, what you're left to be surprised by is all of the things pop culture changed so that the book could actually be interesting. Take, for example, Van Helsing and Dracula's battle. I went in expecting this:



      If that's what you're hoping for, let me just tell you that you're WRONG. In fact, Van Helsing is an old, fat doctor with an absurd accent. Dracula is a tall, old man with a long white mustache. Umm, yuck, really? Sadly, 'tis true. The action in the book is more of the mental battle variety than anything else. They do a lot more talking than fighting.

      Mental standoffs can be pretty cool though, characters trying to outmaneuver one another. I mean, that's what made the first half of Death Note so freaking cool. Unfortunately, these characters are dumb. Certainly, knowing what's happening going into the book, but even given that they're working with no knowledge, their reasoning abilities are limited.

      What really got to me was that, near the end, they've figured out what happened to Lucy Westenra, watched her become a vampire, and killed her. Now they're searching for Dracula to kill him too. They decide that they need to do this without the cleverest of the bunch, Mina Harker, because ladies cannot handle this sort of thing, duh. They leave her alone and come back to find her weak, pale and tired, and it takes them freaking ages to think maybe Dracula has something to do with this, since these symptoms are remarkably similar to Lucy's. Basically, everyone's pathetic.

      Speaking of Mina, she is by far the most interesting and clever character, but, because of the time period, she gets very little respect. I mean, yeah, the guys appreciate what a great typist she is and admire her intellect, but, ultimately, she's more of a curiosity than a compatriot. They leave her out of things because she's a woman, and view her most important role to be that of a shoulder to cry on, of feminine comfort, despite the fact that she's the one who ultimately figures everything out. I know it's a different time, but it still pisses me right the fuck off.

      Oh, also supremely annoying? The infinite references to God. Seriously, every couple of minutes someone would intone "it's in God's hands." At first it didn't bother me, because that's the kind of stupid shit people would say, and still do say, in crises. However, after the first fifty times, I pretty much wanted to start ripping people's heads off every time it happened. I GOT it already: you're all good Christians. Shut the fuck up, okay?



      The only thing that made this book bearable for me was the fact that Audible did a wonderful job putting together the audio. They brought in a stellar cast, and really fit the voices to the characters. My favorite voice actors were Alan Cumming and Katherine Kellgren. Tim Curry does a good job, but he's doing that stupid Van Helsing accent, so I couldn't love his performance as much.

      Even with the marvelous audio work, this still only came out to a meh for me. I highly recommend the audio version, whether you think you'll like the book or not.
    • 4/5
      What a beautifully written and scary book. Wonderful as an audiobook. The reader does a great job with accents and emotions. Glad I listened to it.

      Bram Stoker’s The Illustrated Dracula features illustrations from Jae Lee, who’s worked on X-Factor, Inhumans, and Fantastic Four: 1234 for Marvel Comics as well as other work for DC and Image Comics. The book itself reprints Stoker’s text, which uses the epistolary novel format that was popular in the eighteenth and nineteenth centuries, and introduces the reader to Count Dracula, Jonathan and Mina Harker, Renfield, Abraham Van Helsing, and Lucy Westenra. Lee includes multiple black-and-white illustrations throughout the story as well as four full-color illustrations that capture the gothic, dreamlike quality of the narrative. Lee’s portrayal of Dracula appears to borrow from the depiction of Count Orlok in F.W. Murnau’s 1922 film, Nosferatu, rather than Stoker’s own description or the appearance of the historical Vlad Țepeș. Those benefits aside, there are some typographical errors throughout the work. That said, the illustrations and the high-quality materials of which this book is constructed make it a good gift edition for those new to the story or friends in need of a new copy.
    • 4/5
      I was absolutely captivated by this story from the very beginning and the characters are so well described that I couldn’t stop reading.

      The cinema was my only exposure to this story before now and what can I say but the cinema destroyed these fascinating characters by either sidelining them, not including them or over sexualizing them for the entertainment value. Lucy and Mina are two of the strongest female characters that I have ever seen in literature and their friendship is wonderful. The gentlemen in this story are very courageous and it is amazing how determined they were to see Dracula destroyed because it was the right thing to do and not for revenge.

      My only con is there are times that the author gets a little wordy with some of his side stories and conversations that I almost wanted to skip some of it.

      This is a great performance to listen to. All the actors not only had to act out their main part but also any of the other characters when the story was being told from the journal writer’s point of view. The actors did a great job of maintaining each characters personalities and subtleties no matter which actor was speaking for the character. It is exceptionally well done.

      Tried for years to get through this book. Never could quite do it...
    • 4/5
      I found the book easily digestible for an older book. The format felt quite modern, being a combination of letters and journal entries from various narrators. The descriptions and emotions were lush and enveloping. The entries written from VanHelsing’s point of view were the only ones I had difficulty getting through- the language choices are meant to portray a highly intelligent person for whom English is not native, but for me it wound up being repetitive and harder to relate to. Also, the portrayal of women was hard to swallow at times. Baring in mind that it was another time, and that it might even hold a hint of satire against chauvinism, it was still at times irking. Overall, glad I finally read this classic and would definitely recommend!

      Van Helsing sat with the Harker child on his lap; Van Helsing was momentarily pensive as his breathing continued stertorously. He was thankful that the child's breathing was normal, not stertorous. His suspicions had been numbed since the events with the Count some seven years before. He was also aware that both Jonathan and Mina would conscript this every instant to their journals. It was a shame he still spoke German. Why didn't anyone notice this? Yes, they had encountered True Evil and prevailed through serial implausibility on the part of Undead genius and reduced him to ashes with a Bowie knife.

      Dracula. Bram Stoker. Modern Library Paperback Edition. 2001. The first time I read Dracula I was at home between sophomore and junior years at Montevallo, I think. I had nightmares about vampire cats that were so real I crawled in bed with Mother and only read the book during the daylight hours. This time it was more uncomfortable, not because I think vampires are real, but I was shocked by the evil personified that the book described and surprised by the Catholicism that permeated the determined search to destroy the evil. It was long and not as suspenseful as I remembered more of it as I read. It is much deeper than the modern vampire books and movies.
    • 4/5
      Quite good, and surprisingly funny in spots. It really was a "technothriller" of sorts in its time.
    • 5/5
      - Too Sensual to Ignore -“Dracula” by Bram Stoker relays the tales of an up-and-coming realtor, Jonathan Harker, who travels from England to Transylvania to meet a client; Count Dracula. In the classic interpretation of good versus evil, Jonathan and several of his acquaintances seek out the monster that killed one of their beloved companions. Their journey is filled with superstition, which is seen within the very first chapter of Jonathan’s diary during his journey to the Count’s home; many community members warn him of the dangers that awaits, and some even beg that he returns to his home. The book fashioned a new era within the literary field alongside such works as “Frankenstein” by Mary Shelley and “The strange Case of Dr. Jekyll and Hyde” by Robert Louis Stevenson. It is a collection of reminiscences, transposed in diary entries, victrola recordings, and recounts of events throughout the time period. It dives into the parasitic indulgence so deftly hidden within Victorian London. There is a certain theme found in each of the novels I mentioned; the human form, when molested, may unleash a creature reeking with God’s defamation. I would recommend this book to readers with an interest in folklore/urban legends, gothic fiction, classics, horror novels, and the victorian perception of evil. It is definitely worth picking up if you are curious about the beginnings of these kinds of books, as well. It is an excellent subject to use for a case study of the genre.

      There are darknesses in life and there are lights, and you are one of the lights, the light of all lights.
      Why am I always so surprised that classics are seriously fantastic?

      I loved everything about this! Even knowing the general story, having absorbed it via osmosis most of my life and having once watched a terribly adapted play put on by my high school peers, I was still pulled in by the tension, the terror, and the themes. I loved every character and found the plot to be very climactic and engaging.

      The writing style was superb! Each narrator had a consistent voice that defined them and made their perspective all the more interesting. My personal favorite was Dr. John Seward. He had a very lyrical way of viewing the world and it made his sections beautiful to read. The opening part with Jonathan Harker's imprisonment in Dracula's Castle was palpably tense and drew me in immediately. All in all, the entire thing was excellent!

      For life be, after all, only a waitin' for somethin' else than what we're doin'; and death be all that we can rightly depend on.
    • 4/5
      By turns melodramatic, contrived and repetitive it is, nonetheless, a spine-tingling tale - a classic.
    • 5/5
      Still scary.

      After Twilight, True Blood, Let the Right One In and other modern vampire stories, I was eager to read the original and settle down some facts. It is a true horror story balancing between the psychological and physical world somewhere. The way it is told is surprisingly modern and structured, and you'll never drop out, as the story line is retold several times. The plot itself was like a river, some times very exiting, others quit shallow and slow. The ideology struck me as extremely sexist, which was a huge turn down for me. The dialects and accents was at times was hard to read, but it felt blooming right in some cases (not always). Over all a good book, worth it's place on the classical list for sure, but not some thing I'll reread any day soon...
    • 3/5
      A little longer than needed (especially if you know what happens), but it does have it's merits and the style is not bad. I really liked that the audio version used a different narrator for each character.
    • 3/5
      The opening scenes in Transylvania are by far the best parts of the book. After that it all becomes slow and bloated, with an anticlimatic ending - slow build up and then very quickly all over. However, still a good read. The fact that it's all women who seem to get it in the neck tells you all you need to know what this is all about. It would be interesting to read about how this was received at the time. 3.5 stars.
    • 5/5
      I really enjoyed this one. I knew it wasn't going to be anything like the movies, so I was prepared for that. I will say that while I wasn't expecting so much to be about Lucy, I truly enjoyed her nonetheless. I do want to know what the heck happened to Jon Harker between leaving Castle Dracula and showing up at a hospital. Why didn't Drac kill him? The world may never know.
    • 4/5
      I am really not a fan of vampire fiction but I have to say that this forerunner to the modern craze is quite good. Of course, it helps that Simon Vance narrates. He is amazing at giving the different characters accents and intonations that distinguish them from each other. A young British solicitor, Jonathon Harker, travels to Transylvania to acquaint Count Dracula with the details of a property that he has purchased in London. He keeps a journal and writes letters to his employer and his fiancee about everything he experiences. Although Dracula intended him to fall prey to three women vampires in his castle after he left for Britain, Jonathon manages to escape and flee to a hospital in Budapest. He cannot remember anything about his sojourn but he knows it was horrible. His fiance, Mina, goes out to him and they marry. In the interim Mina has had her own vampire experiences. She was staying with her friend Lucy in Whitby when a mysterious ship comes into harbour. Every member of the crew has been killed. Only a large black dog was seen jumping from the ship to shore. Of course, this was the Count and he hangs around Whitby long enough to infect Lucy. Lucy was loved by three men who banded together to save her after bringing in a Dutch doctor, Van Helsing. They are unsuccessful and they, together with the Harkers, decide to hunt down and finish off the Count.Pretty typical gothic novel from the time but it was probably a sensation when it came out.
    • 4/5
      Bram Stoker's Dracula is a celebrated classic for good reason. So much in popular culture since its publication over a century ago originates from the creation of this single character—this undead, parasite of the night.The story itself is a brilliant, wordy mess of journal entries written by forlorn characters desperate to understand an unfamiliar evil. But rather than compulsively turning the pages, you're more likely to wander through the confusion thinking, "What is going on here?" Dracula has its moments—alarming revelations that will chill your bones—but I'd be understating if I said you'll have to slog through a bunch of babble to get there.
    • 4/5
      If you've only seen Dracula movies, you really have no idea who and what Dracula is. Read the book. Stoker has a deft hand at creepy atmospheres and surreal description. The journal format is compelling even today. Since it was written in the 19th century, I can't say this is an edge-of-your-seat page-turner. That just wasn't the way they rolled back then. But it's a beautifully written book full of pathos and claustrophobic fear. You won't forget this book and it'll ruin vampire movies for you forever.

    • 4/5
      I have read many vampire stories, from the scary (Salem's Lot) to the romantic (Twilight) but, despite it's age, this is by far the creepiest vampire novel I have read. In fact, this is the only vampire story that has ever disturbed my sleep. The old-world language and diary format lend it an air of tension to this novel that is lacking in other vampire books that I have read. Most horror books are scary, but fairly predictable. Not so, Bram Stoker's Dracula. I found this story to be intriguing and enthralling and I found myself unable to put it down. This is the original vampire novel and, in my opinion, still the best.
    • 3/5
      I've never actually seen any Dracula movies but I've seen and read my fair share of vampires in general. They seem to be popular in fiction these days. I know this book has been on my mental list of books to eventually read but no need to really soon for years. Then I watched the movie 'League of Extraordinary Gentlemen' the other week and it made a reference to Dracula. For some reason that cause me to transfer the book to my actual 'to read' list. And so when I saw it on the library shelves’ audio books section I decided now was as good a time as any to read it, or rather listen to it. I didn't really know what to expect so there was no disappointments of any kind. It was a fairly entertaining book really. I'm glad I got to it since it is a classic, but I will most likely not read it again. I really liked the beginning of the book, but the middle seemed to drag a little for me and the end seemed slightly rushed. But the beginning was fantastic. I wasn't sure the book would succeed in the 'creepy' since 'creepy' in the 1800s might have been different from the 'creepy' of today, but there were parts that may have caused a shudder. I believe it was the writing style that allowed this. The book was an 'okay' for me. It was slightly less than a "I sincerely like it". But I am glad I got to it. I do think any reader should get into some classics at some point in their life. If for nothing else, to see and debate on why they are considered classics. :)
    • 4/5
      What can I say that hasn’t already been said about Dracula – one of the earliest vampire novels? I do love the epistolary style… it reminds me of modern social/viral media horror, e.g. NIN’s Year Zero and various faked zombie virus outbreaks. Stoker’s vampire definitely has one foot in the grave – he’s a far cry from the modern idea of a seductive, brooding, anti-hero vampire. As much as I love some (and I must stress ‘some’) of these newer vampires, Dracula reveals the dark history behind the Lestats, Spikes, and Angels of the world.
    • 5/5
      I remember when I was about 11 or 12 years old rummaging through a second hand bookshop in Egham. I had this urge to buy a book, my first ever book that I'd paid for with my own money. After much faffing about I settled upon a rather aged and dog-eared paperback by Bram Stoker titled Dracula. I don't remember the cover but I do remember the smell. There's a very distinct smell about second hand books, which gets more distinct the older they get!

      Back then I took maybe two days to read it from cover to cover and really enjoyed it. Re-reading it nigh on 38 years later on the Kindle I find I have lost none of the enjoyment. It's an excellent book that keeps you with the story all the way through. It's also interesting to see how cinema has changed the story when it's been adapted by Hammer and Hollywood, it's often been made much more sexualised and at the same time less horrific. Perhaps the closest film regarding Dracula in 'feel' to me would be Polanski's 'The Dance of the Vampire Killers'.

      If you haven't read it then do. Free on ebook readers as well!

    • 4/5
      I read this in about 1.5 hours while subbing and I found that it was a very simple story introducing Dracula and then finishing him off. It starts out following Jonathon where you are first introduced to Dracula. He is a very smart and cunning person who traps Jonathon and then leaves for London to try his hand there. I found it was an interesting read that compelled me to the end to know exactly what happens.
    • 4/5
      Dracula was not at all what I expected; and I mean this in a good way. I made presumptions early on that this would be a dated, heavy, wordy, literary and somewhat boring tale of the Vampire Dracula and thus hesitated cracking open this book for many years. However, once I read the first page and realized that the story was told from the viewpoint of multiple characters via personal journals, diaries, memorandums etc... my interest was piqued. The story of Dracula is pretty tame overall, but if you have been hesitating to read it for reasons similar to those described above, I would dust off your copy and read the first couple of pages. My guess is that you will get sucked into Mr. Stoker's world just as I did.
    • 5/5
      After reading for 55+ years, I thought it about time to read the "real" Dracula and I'm glad I did.The book is intriguing and suspensful without being gory or bloody. A lot of history about Dracula is given and also explains why he does what he does. The book is written as diary entries by all the major characters; gives great perspective.The only negative comment is that some of the journal entries use less than proper grammar (he has brain of child, he weak, etc. This detracts from the otherwise well-written book.
    • 5/5
      Reading the classic Dracula by Bram Stoker was an eye-opening experience. I was expecting a slow moving, stodgy, old fashioned story but instead I was delighted in this dark, romantic tale of evil vampires overcome by a band of unlikely heroes. The story jumped right into Dracula’s castle and other than a small slow down in the middle part of the book, kept up the quick pace of a modern day thriller. The ending was particularly well done and I closed the book feeling a great satisfaction that this, the grandfather of all vampire reads, is truly a worthy read. I won’t dwell upon the plot as it is quite well known, but as I mentioned above this was my first read, and there were details that were quite new to me. The character of Mina was a particular surprise as I was expecting a wan, wispy girl, and, in fact, found a forthright, interesting heroine who, even when fighting for her own immortal soul came off both strong and interesting.If you have yet to give Dracula a try, I would encourage you to do so as it is truly both intriguing and mysterious and, if you are a fan of horror, it is wonderful to see where so many of the vampire clichés originated.
