Dracula

One of the most infamous characters in literary history, Dracula is the original modern vampire, combining the contrary traits of charm, sophistication and irresistible sexual allure with a repugnant beast. Dracula both thrilled and terrified morally principled Victorian audiences with the foreboding threat of corruption, depravity and social decay. In this unabridged version of Bram Stoker’s 1897 classic, join innocent young English solicitor Jonathan Harker on his terrifying journey to Transylvania as he, Lucy, Mina, Dr Seward and the heroic Professor Van Helsing battle the cunning of Count Dracula and his bloodthirsty legions.
