Dracula (Penguin Clothbound Classics)

Part of Penguin's beautiful hardback Clothbound Classics series, designed by the award-winning Coralie Bickford-Smith, these delectable and collectible editions are bound in high-quality colourful, tactile cloth with foil stamped into the design When Jonathan Harker visits Transylvania to help Count Dracula with the purchase of a London house, he makes a series of horrific discoveries about his client. Soon afterwards, various bizarre incidents unfold in England: an apparently unmanned ship is wrecked off the coast of Whitby; a young woman discovers strange puncture marks on her neck; and the inmate of a lunatic asylum raves about the 'Master' and his imminent arrival. In Dracula, Bram Stoker created one of the great masterpieces of the horror genre, brilliantly evoking a nightmare world of vampires and vampire hunters and also illuminating the dark corners of Victorian sexuality and desire.

Disclaimer: I’m not really a fan of gothic horror nor of Vampire stories. That said, I thoroughly enjoyed Bram Stoker’s Dracula. I was familiar with some points in the tale, (it’s hard to avoid spoilers when the book was first published over 100 years ago.) But even so I was completely drawn into the tale. There are some parts that drag out a little, particularly in the middle, but overall I find that Stoker’s writings feel rather ahead of his time. The characters were all colorful and dynamic, and Dracula himself is such a perfect blend of monster AND human, something I find sadly missing from many modern adaptations. Overall I was surprised to find that I genuinely enjoyed this book. Would recommend to anyone, even if you’re not a fan of vampire stories.
