Dracula

Dracula
Bram Stoker

'Dracula' signified the dawning of the vampire novel. 'Dracula' was first published in 1897 and became an instant hit. It has been shaping the vampire story ever since. Pretty much anything which is vamp related has been formed by the original vampire myth of 'Dracula'. But, a warning is attached, this isn't 'Twilight'. It's far better.

'Dracula' tells the tale of Jonathan Harker who unwittingly ends up working for Count Dracula himself. Harker eventually discovers Dracula's true identity as a murdering, blood-sucking fiend. He manages to escape the vampire's lair, but immediately falls into feverish delirium. Meanwhile, in England, Dracula has made his way into the homeland, and is preying on the beautiful Lucy and enslaving madmen. The plot thickens.

'Dracula' is definitely one of the easiest classics to read. It is also one of the classics that should be read. A decidedly Gothic story which is sure to thrill and excite.
