When Jonathan Harker travels to Transylvania to sell a house, he little expects the horrors that await.

Da Archibald Hunter tager på ferie i den lille kystflække Cruden Bay lidt nord for Aberdeen, regner han med at tilbringe nogle fredsommelige dage på landet. Imidlertid forstyrres hans fred af en gammel gælisk seerske og nogle mærkelige spøgelsessyner. Ikke desto mindre er han så indtaget af stedet, at han begynder at bygge et hus i Cruden for at slå sig ned. Men da han på en auktion køber en gammel dragkiste, der indeholder dokumenter i kode fra dengang, den spanske armada stævnede mod Englands kyster, og tilfældigt redder en ung, hemmelighedsfuld kvinde fra druknedøden, er Archibald pludselig indblandet til op over begge ører i et eventyr med afstikkere til både den spanske armada, gamle skatte, den spansk-amerikanske krig (der gik for sig, da bogen blev skrevet), den amerikanske og den engelske efterretningstjeneste – og en altovervældende kærlighedsaffære.

Bram Stoker's classic nineteenth century vampire epic, in which an English solicitor heads out to a castle in the Carpathian Mountains, quickly descending into the supernatural world of the Transylvanian noble in residence there.

Three horror icons come together in one indispensable tome-with an introduction by Stephen King. "Within the pages of this volume you will come upon three of the darkest creations of English nineteenth-century literature; three of the darkest in all of English and American literature, many would say…and not without justification…These three creatures, presented together for the first time, all have a great deal in common beyond their power to go on frightening generation after generation of readers…but that fact alone should be considered before all others."-From the Introduction by Stephen King A scientist oversteps the bounds of conscience and brings to life a tortured creation. A young adventurer succumbs to the night world of a diabolic count. A man of medicine explores his darker side only to fall prey to it. They are legendary tales that have held readers spellbound for more than a century. The titles alone-Frankenstein, Dracula, and Dr. Jekyll and Mr. Hyde-have become part of a universal language that serves to put a monster's face on the good-and-evil duality of our very human nature. And the authors-Mary Shelley, Bram Stoker, and Robert Louis Stevenson-equally as mythic, are still possessed of an inventive and subversive power that can shake a reader to this day with something far more profound than fear. They gave root to the modern horror novel, and like the creatures they invented, they've achieved immortality.

For the first time in English comes a remarkable literary discovery. In 1928, Turkish author Ali R¿za Seyfiölu pirated Bram Stoker's Dracula, completely rewriting it with new material, patriotic overtones, and Islam. A rare example of a "bootleg" novel, it's also the first adaptation to plainly identify Dracula as the historical warlord Vlad the Impaler.In Seyfiölu's story, when a modern Istanbul is threatened by the invasion of an ancient vampire, three veterans of the Turkish War of Independence are thrust into a conflict with their nation's hereditary enemy. Seyfiölu boldly reworks Stoker's classic tale, retelling it from the unique perspective of a people once routed by the real-life Dracula.Dracula in Istanbul: The Unauthorized Version of the Gothic Classic presents the first ever translation into English of Seyfiölu's novel, Kaz¿kl¿ Voyvoda. With a foreword by Anno Dracula author Kim Newman, an introduction by Turkish translation scholar ¿ehnaz Tahir Gürçälar, an afterword on the 1953 movie adaptation Drakula ¿stanbul'da by film scholar Iain Robert Smith, and several rare photos from the film, Dracula in Istanbul is a rare combination of literary artifact and genuine entertainment. From movie and vampire buffs to literature scholars, there's enough here to delight all the children of the night.

"Originally published over a hundred years ago, the fifteen stories in this anthology represent some of the great classics of ghost and terror fiction ... These British and American tales span eight decades of literary history, and they present a terrifying collection of ghosts, monsters, and monstrous men."--Back cover.

A gripping gothic tale from the majestic Bram Stoker, which led to the birth of a legend and stoked the fertile imagination of film-makers, artists and novelists. When Jonathan Harker visits the remote Transylvanian castle of Count Dracula, little does he know that he will become a captive of the undead!

Dublin-born Bram Stoker lived in London, meeting other notable authors such as Arthur Conan Doyle and Oscar Wilde. Apart from the ground-breaking Dracula Stoker wrote supernatural horror short stories, many of which, including 'The Judge's House' and 'Dracula's Guest', are featured here with extracts from his longer works.
