Dracula

Der junge Sir Johann Adderley Bancroft – H?rern aus Artmanns unvergesslichem Geheimnis des Werwolfs" als ebenso zaghaft wie begehrenswert bekannt – hat sich mit seiner Verlobten Edwarda Cornwallis auf den Weg zum Grafen Dracula gemacht. Da alle Wege eines britischen Adligen ?ber London f?hren, hatte er dort auch Bram Stoker aufgesucht, der ihn nicht nur durch seine schier unglaublichen Vampir-Geschichten, sondern auch durch seine Kenntnis der transsylvanischen Geographie und Tradition beeindruckte. Wenig sp?ter sitzen Bancroft, Student des Transsylvanischen und Huzulischen und Edwarda im Zug von Szathmar nach Mandrak und werden dort, im Herzen der Karpaten, Zeugen allerseltsamster Hochzeitsbr?uche. So wird die Tochter des B?rgermeisters im Fledermaussalon des Dracula-Schlosses auf ein Streckbett geschnallt, ein junger J?ger wird tot und blutleer im Wald aufgefunden, neben ihm ein Postbote. Ebenfalls blutleer. Und was mit Edwarda, Bancrofts scheuer Verlobten, geschieht … man muss es h?ren, um es zu glauben!"

Sensual, dark and thrilling, Bram Stoker's Dracula remains the seminal work of Gothic fiction, and in this elegant Macmillan Collector's Library edition, which includes an illuminating afterword by Jonty Claypole, readers can experience the horror and excitement as never before. When Jonathan Harker is summoned to Transylvania to finalize a property deal for the mysterious Count Dracula, he stumbles upon an ancient evil he is unprepared to face. When that evil escapes to England, the entire nation is suddenly under threat and only an aged vampire hunter, Professor Abraham Van Helsing, can put a stop to the bloodshed.

Since its publication in 1897, Dracula continues to terrify readers with its depiction of a vampire with an insatiable thirst for blood and the group of hunters determined to end his existence before he destroys a young woman's soul. .
