When estate agent solicitor's clerk Jonathan Harker visits Transylvania to assist Count Dracula with the purchase of his London house, he discovers more about his client and his castle than he might wish.... Bram Stoker's classic novel Dracula, originally titled The Un-Dead, was first published in 1897. It has had a pro­found influence on world literature. It has enjoyed enormous popularity since its publication and is singu­larly responsible for spawning an extraordinary vampire subculture in the second half of the twentieth century. Over a thousand novels and hundreds of films feature Dracula or other vampires, not to mention the countless cartoons, comics, and tele­vision programmes which were ultimately inspired by Stoker's work. This edition includes the short story "Dracula's Guest", which was published in 1914 by Stoker's widow, Florence, who said of the story: "It was originally excised owing to the length of the book, and may prove of interest to the many readers of what is considered my husband's most remarkable work." Abraham "Bram" Stoker was born in Clontarf in Dublin on 8 November 1847 and died in London on 20 April 1912. He was an Irish novelist and short story writer, who worked as the personal assistant of actor Henry Irving and business manager of the Lyceum Theatre in London, which Irving owned. Mathew Staunton is printing historian from Dublin and proprietor of The Onslaught Press. He produced the illustrations for this edition on his press in Oxford.
