by Bram Stoker.

This is the dust jacket review.

'He was deathly pale, just like a waxen image, and the red eyes glared with the horrible vindictive look which I knew too well...'


Young solicitor Jonathan Harker is dispatched to Transylvania to close a property deal. His client is Count Dracula: a man who casts no reflection in the mirror; a man of deathly pallor; a man able to control the elements.

Taken prisoner in Dracula's castle, Harker discovers the Count's terrifying secret, that by frenzied and carnal vampirism, he means to swell the ranks of the tortured souls compelled for eternity to do his bidding - the Un-Dead.

Soon, the Count's evil spreads to England, with fatal and fearful consequences. Led by the shrewd Professor Van Helsing, Harker and his friends begin the struggle to exterminate Dracula, willing to sacrifice their own lives in the process if necessary.
But how shall they find him?
And, having found him, how can they destroy him?
