"Dracula" is a classic Gothic horror novel written by Irish author Bram Stoker, published in 1897. It is widely celebrated for introducing the most famous vampire character of all time, Count Dracula.
Here is a 100-word review of the novel:
Bram Stoker's Dracula is a masterpiece of Gothic horror that established the modern vampire mythos. Told through an engaging epistolary format—using diaries, letters, and telegrams—the story follows English solicitor Jonathan Harker as he travels to Transylvania, only to become trapped by the bloodthirsty Count Dracula. When Dracula moves to England to plague innocent victims like Lucy and Mina, a brave group led by Professor Van Helsing rallies to hunt him down. Rich in atmosphere, the novel brilliantly explores powerful themes of xenophobia, Christian salvation, and the clash between Victorian modernity and ancient superstitions.
