Dracula : Penguin Speculative Fiction Special

Bram Stoker's immortal vampire story, now in a special new edition with a Foreword by Robert Eggers, the award-winning director and writer of Nosferatu,The Northman , The Lighthouse and The Witch

When Jonathan Harker visits Transylvania to help Count Dracula purchase a London house, he makes horrifying discoveries in his client's castle. Soon afterwards, disturbing incidents unfold in England: a ship runs aground on the shores of Whitby, its crew vanished; beautiful Lucy Westenra slowly succumbs to a mysterious, wasting illness, her blood drained away; and the lunatic Renfield raves about the imminent arrival of his 'master'. In the ensuing battle of wills between the sinister Count and a determined group of adversaries – led by the intrepid vampire hunter Abraham van Helsing – Bram Stoker created a masterpiece of the horror genre, probing into questions of identity, sanity and the dark corners of Victorian sexuality and desire.

A special Penguin Classics edition, with a Foreword by Robert Eggers and an Introduction by Karen Winstead.
