DRACULA

Dracula is an 1897 novel by Irish author Bram Stoker, and the name of its title character, the vampire Count Dracula.

Dracula has been attributed to many literary genres including horror fiction, the gothic novel and invasion literature. Structurally it is an epistolary novel, that is, told as a series of diary entries and letters.

The story begins with Jonathan Harker, a newly qualified English solicitor, being invited to the COUNT`s crumbling, remote castle (situated in the Carpathian Mountains on the border of Transylvania and Moldavia) to provide legal support for a real estate transaction on behalf of Harker`s employer in London. At first seduced by the count's gracious manner, he soon discovers he has become a prisoner and begins to see disquieting facets of the count's daily life. Searching for a way out of the castle one night, he falls under the spell of three wanton female vampires, the Brides of Dracula but is saved at the last minute by the count, who wants to retain Harker as a friend to teach him about London, where the count plans to travel among the [ teeming millions ] Harker barely escapes from the castle with his life........

Lucy begins to waste away suspiciously. All her suitors fret, and Seward calls in his old teacher, Professor Abraham Van Helsing from Amsterdam. Van Helsing immediately determines the cause of Lucy`s condition but refuses to disclose it, knowing that Seward's faith in him will be shaken if he starts spouting off about vampires. Van Helsing tries multiple blood transfusions, but they are clearly losing ground. On a night when Van Helsing must return to Amsterdam (and his message to Seward asking him to watch the Westenra household is accidentally sent to the wrong address), Lucy and her mother are attacked in the night by a wolf. Mrs Westenra, who has a heart condition, dies of fright, and Lucy herself apparently dies soon after.

Lucy is buried, but soon afterward the newspapers report a [ bloofer lady ] (sometimes explained as ` beautiful lady` ) stalking children in the night. Van Helsing, knowing that this means Lucy has become a vampire, confides in Seward, Arthur, and Morris. The suitors and Van Helsing track her down, and after a disturbing confrontation between her vampiric self and Arthur, they stake her heart and behead her.......
