Only a handful of men and women stand between Dracula and his long-cherished goal, but they are vulnerable and weak against the cunning and supernatural powers of the Count and his legions. As the horrifying story unfolds in the diaries and letters of young Jonathan Harker, Lucy, Mina, and Dr Seward, Dracula will be victorious unless his nemesis Professor Van Helsing can persuade them that monsters still lurk in the era of electric light.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThe most famous of all vampire stories, \u003cem\u003eDracula\u003c\/em\u003e is a mirror of its age, its underlying themes of race, religion, science, superstition, and sexuality never far from the surface.
