Book excerpt: It is perhaps one of the best known and most influential novels in all of literature: 1897's Dracula didn't merely inspire countless adaptations for stage and film, it invented an entire genre of horror: the vampire story, which continues to evolve today into wildly varied directions, from noir detective pastiches (the vampire as night-owl P.I.) to tween romances (the vampire as dreamy but distant boyfriend). Anyone who wants to know where it all began must read this 1897 work, still startling and still terrifying even today. The story of English solicitor Jonathan Harker and his strange new client, Transylvanian aristocrat Count Dracula, this is the classic work of Victorian gothic horror, the continuing eerie wellspring of many of our cultural fantasies and nightmares. Irish author ABRAHAM STOKER (1847-1912) worked for more than a quarter of a century as manager of the West End's Lyceum Theatre, which drew him into London's literary and artists circles; he was a friend of such luminaries as writer Sir Arthur Conan Doyle and painter James Abbott McNeill Whistler. Stoker is also the author of The Lair of the White Worm (1911), among other books.

Book excerpt: Esta novela del escritor irlandés Bram Stoker es una obra maestra de la literatura de terror, precisamente la que dio su forma literaria definitiva al mito del vampiro, aunque este mito ya existiera antes, enraizado en antiguas creencias populares de Centroeuropa. De un modo u otro, su figura también la trataron antes otros escritores, desde Alejandro Dumas, Guy de Maupassant o Sheridan Le Fanu hasta Nikolái Gógol o Edgar Allan Poe.Este apasionante libro concreta el mito original del vampiro en el del conde Drácula, y lo hace con una fuerza poética obsesionante, que muy pocas versiones cinematográficas han logrado restituirle. Es también la obra capital de Bram Stoker y la que lo dio a conocer al gran público. Indudablemente, de todos los grandes mitos universales creados por la literatura, desde Hamlet a Madame Bovary y desde Don Quijote a Robinson Crusoe, el más popular y el que cuenta con un mayor número de seguidores en todo el mundo es el del inmortal señor de las tinieblas: el conde Drácula. Como el propio conde, este libro ha surgido del anonimato para irrumpir en un mundo que ya no contaba con su presencia, y sin embargo lo ha hecho con tal fuerza que la novela se ha convertido en el texto fundacional de toda la leyenda posterior sobre este tema, que ha encontrado su origen y su inspiración en el nombre y las acciones de Drácula, el padre de los vampiros.En el año 1890, el joven abogado Jonathan Harker viaja a un castillo perdido de Transilvania, donde conoce al conde Drácula, que en 1462 perdió a su amor Elisabeta. El Conde, fascinado por una fotografía de Mina Murray, la novia de Harker, que le recuerda a su Elisabeta, viaja hasta Londres cruzando océanos de tiempo para conocerla. Ya en Inglaterra, intentará conquistar y seducir a Lucy, la mejor amiga de Mina.Abraham Bram Stoker fue un novelista y escritor irlandés, conocido por su novela Drácula.Su creación literaria más reconocida, la cual realzó los matices del vampirismo y pasó a ser una obra literaria transmitida a través de los años, fue la del vampiro Drácula (1897) historia ficticia basada, según algunas fuentes, en el personaje real del príncipe de Valaquia Vlad III, nacido como Vlad Draculea, Vlad el hijo del demonio - dragón, más conocido como . Para esta novela, se sirvió de los conocimientos de un erudito orientalista húngaro llamado Arminius Vámbéry (Ármin o Hermann Bamberger, en realidad) con el que se reunió varias veces y de libros como el de Emily Gerard Informe sobre los principados de Valaquia. Se inspiró en Irving y en Franz Liszt para fijar el aspecto del conde Drácula. La novela refleja la lucha entre el bien y el mal. Oscar Wilde dijo de ella que era la obra de terror mejor escrita de todos los tiempos, y también la novela más hermosa jamás escrita. Además, la obra recibió elogios de, entre otros, Arthur Conan Doyle.
Book Synopsis Dracula Unmasked by : Pamela J. Rauch
Download or read book Dracula Unmasked written by Pamela J. Rauch and published by LifeRich Publishing. This book was released on 2019-07-22 with total page 506 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: What if someone wrote a tale about Dracula that was different from the rest? Wouldn’t it be refreshing to read a vampire story that cuts through Hollywood’s glitzy version of vampires, and invites the reader into the ethereal realm of otherworldly creatures? Vlad Dracula is a handsome and virile vampire, although a savage killer, he is a hopeless romantic; our count also has the ability to time travel. In this gripping tale we explore the man living behind the vampire, as Dracula navigates his way through time, settling in London where he spawns a colony of vampires who live beneath Trafalgar Square. Assisting the seasoned vampire is the infamous Jack the Ripper; he has been made a creature of the night, but still has a penchant for killing prostitutes. When the Blitzkrieg destroys Makefield Manor in 1941, Dracula and his entourage are forced to leave London. They decide to settle in New York City during the tumultuous 1960s, where they discover a modern world and a new enemy called the Van Helsings. This narrative offers a different perspective on the ethereal realm of vampires and the earthbound spirits who keep them company, in a place called the Otherworld. Accompanying the two vampires on a journey through time are an artist, a poet and a group of misfit children; together they encounter an array of historical figures including, Elizabeth Bathory a.k.a. the Blood Countess, Adolph Hitler, Vincent Van Gogh, Charles Manson and even Bram Stoker, himself. Their misadventures create an action packed and compelling story that makes the reader want to keep turning the page. I hope you enjoy the ride!

Dracula became such an obsession as it embodied a taboo subject matter: the desire for blood and sex. Filled with extraordinary pictures of the Count, his literary companions, and the movie idols, this is a treasure only to be read by daylight!

Download or read book Dracula's Guest written by Michael Sims and published by A&C Black. This book was released on 2011-10-03 with total page 522 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Even in the twenty-first century, the undead walk among us... Before Twilight and True Blood, vampires haunted the nineteenth century, when brilliant writers indulged their bloodthirsty imaginations, culminating in Bram Stoker's legendary 1897 novel, Dracula. Acclaimed author and anthologist Michael Sims brings together the finest vampire stories of the Victorian era in a unique collection that highlights their cultural variety. Beginning with the supposedly true accounts that captivated Byron and Shelley, the stories range from Aleksei Tolstoy's tale of a vampire family to Fitz James O'Brien's invisible monster to Mary Elizabeth Braddon's rich and sinister widow, Good Lady Ducayne. Sims also includes a nineteenth-century travel tour of Transylvanian superstitions, and finishes the collection with Stoker's own Dracula's Guest - a chapter omitted from his landmark novel. Vampires captivated Victorian society, and these wonderful stories demonstrate how Romantic and Victorian writers refined the raw ore of peasant superstition into a whole vampire mythology of aristocratic decadence and innocence betrayed.

Book excerpt: "Kim Newman's Anno Dracula is back in print, and we must celebrate. It was the first mash-up of literature, history and vampires, and now, in a world in which vampires are everywhere, it's still the best, and its bite is just as sharp. Compulsory reading, commentary, and mindgame: glorious." - Neil Gaiman "Politics, horror, and romance are woven together in this brilliantly imagined and realized novel. Newman's prose is a delight, his attention to detail is spellbinding." - Time Out “Stephen King assumes we hate vampires; Anne Rice makes it safe to love them, because they hate themselves. Kim Newman suspects that most of us live with them… Anno Dracula is the definitive account of that post-modern species, the self-obsessed undead.” - New York Times “Anno Dracula will leave you breathless... one of the most creative novels of the year.” - Seattle Times “Powerful... compelling entertainment... a fiendishly clever banquet of dark treats.” - San Francisco Chronicle 'A ripping yarn, an adventure romp of the best blood, and a satisfying… read' - Washington Post Book World "The most comprehensive, brilliant, dazzlingly audacious vampire novel to date. 'Ultimate' seems an apt description... Anno Dracula is at once playful, horrific, intelligent, and revelatory." - Locus "A marvelous marriage of political satire, melodramatic intrigue, gothic horror, and alternative history. Not to be missed." - The Independent "Once you start reading this Victorian-era thriller, you will not be satiated until you reach the end." - Ain't It Cool "Anno Dracula is the smart, hip Year Zero of the vampire genre's ongoing revolution." - Paul McAuley "Kim Newman brings Dracula back home in the granddaddy of all vampire adventures. Anno Dracula couldn't be more fun if Bram Stoker had scripted it for Hammer. It's a beautifully constructed Gothic epic that knocks almost every other vampire novel out for the count." - Christopher Fowler "The most interesting take on the Dracula story... to date. Recommending this one to all those that love Dracula and historical fiction!" - RexRobotReviews -- It is 1888 and Queen Victoria has remarried, taking as her new consort Vlad Tepes, the Wallachian Prince infamously known as Count Dracula.

Acclaimed novelist Kim Newman explores the darkest depths of a reinvented Victorian London. This brand-new edition of the bestselling novel contains unique bonus material, including a new afterword from Kim Newman, annotations, articles and alternate endings to the original novel.
