We are in Transylvania; and Transylvania is no England. Our ways are not your ways, and they shall be to you many strange things. Earnest and naive, solicitor Jonathan Harker travels to Transylvania to organize the estate of the infamous Count Dracula at his crumbling castle. Finding himself imprisoned, Harker experiences all manner of supernatural horrors until he eventually escapes to be reunited with his fiancee Mina. Meanwhile in England, Mina's friend Lucy has been bitten and Mina herself is under threat from the Count as he attempts to quell his appetite for human blood. Arguably the most enduring Gothic novel of the 19th Century, Bram Stoker s Dracula is as chilling today in its depiction of the vampire world and its exploration of Victorian values as it was at its time of publication. |
