Dracula by Bram Stoker Hardback: Dracula Special Edition

Product Information

With Dracula ( Horror of Dracula in the US), the British studio turned the vampire count into a violent, athletic monster – Bram Stoker’s creation had a new lease of life, and horror cinema would never be the same.

Explore Stoker's world of excitement, temptation, and fear-full of captivating characters like the lovely Lucy Westerna and the persistent Professor Van Helsing. At the very beginning of the seventeenth century it underwent a siege of three weeks and lost 13,000 people, the casualties of war proper being assisted by famine and disease.

I was evidently expected, for when I got near the door I faced a cheery-looking elderly woman in the usual peasant dress–white undergarment with long double apron, front, and back, of coloured stuff fitting almost too tight for modesty. She smiled, and gave some message to an elderly man in white shirtsleeves, who had followed her to the door. This limited edition deluxe hardback copy is numbered and signed by the authors – one of only 100 available worldwide – and comes with a certificate of authenticity. Bram Stoker: Author of Dracula - An Illustrated Biography is a beautiful introduction to Dracula's author, as much as the time in which he lived. I read that every known superstition in the world is gathered into the horseshoe of the Carpathians, as if it were the centre of some sort of imaginative whirlpool; if so my stay may be very interesting.

Some of them were just like the peasants at home or those I saw coming through France and Germany, with short jackets and round hats and home-made trousers; but others were very picturesque. They had all full white sleeves of some kind or other, and the most of them had big belts with a lot of strips of something fluttering from them like the dresses in a ballet, but of course there were petticoats under them. The novel tells the story of Dracula's attempt to move from Transylvania to England so that he may find new blood and spread the undead curse, and of the battle between Dracula and a small group of people led by Professor Abraham Van Helsing. He was a big-framed, ebullient, genial, gentleman, with red hair and beard, who never lost his soft Irish brogue, was blessed with wit, and a host of entertaining stories fit for every occasion.We're always happy to answer any questions or queries you might have, please get in touch using one of the methods below. The characters are richly developed, each with their own quirks and motivations, and the settings, particularly the eerie Castle Dracula, are vividly described. Dracula is not only a classic of Gothic horror and a wellspring of modern mythology: it is also irresistible entertainment.

It introduced the character of Count Dracula and established many conventions of subsequent vampire fantasy.Temptation, horror, and thrills manifest when Count Dracula comes head to head with Abraham Van Helsing in this completely unabridged edition, designed with a smaller format for easy portability. It seemed as if the whole awful creature were simply gorged with blood; he lay like a filthy leech, exhausted with his repletion. It is accepted by you that Daunt Books has no control over additional charges in relation to customs clearance.
