DraculaListen to them, the children of the night. What music they make! Bram Stoker released Dracula in 1897, and horror novels have never been the same.

It begins with Jonathan Harker, an English solicitor, visiting Count Dracula on the premise of providing support for a real estate transaction. It only goes downhill from there for Harker. Dracula makes it to England and tracks down and converts Lucy Westenra, close friend of Harker's fiancée, Mina Murray. Jonahthan Harker, Mina Murray, Dr. John Seward, Arthur Holmwood, Quincey Morris, and Abraham Van Helsing join together to try to save Lucy from Dracula's clutches and stop his blood-thirsty exploits.

With stunning cover art and interiors, Anno Domini Classics let readers relive their favorite books through a fresh, original lens. |
