“The world seems full of good men–even if there are monsters in it…”
Dracula by Bram Stoker was the most popular literary work derived from vampire legends and became the basis for an entire genre of literature and film.
The main character’s diary entries, letters, and telegrams form the story of Dracula. It all starts with Jonathan Harker, a young English barrister on a trip to Transylvania. Harker intends to meet with Count Dracula, a customer of his company, to finalise a real estate transaction. When he reaches Transylvania, the locals are terrified when he reveals his destination: Castle Dracula. Despite his unease, he continues on his journey.
When Harker first encounters Dracula, he notices that he is pale, gaunt, and odd. Harker feels even more anxious when Dracula lunges at his throat after Harker wounds himself while shaving. He then discovers Dracula’s secret: he is a vampire who feeds on human blood. Will he be the next victim of the count?
Sneak Peek:
As it is, I am darkly suspicious. All those outbreaks were in some way linked with the proximity of the Count. What then does this absolute content mean? Can it be that his instinct is satisfied as to the vampire’s ultimate triumph? Stay; he is himself zoöphagous, and in his wild ravings outside the chapel door of the deserted house he always spoke of “master.” This all seems confirmation of our idea. However, after a while I came away; my friend is just a little too sane at present to make it safe to probe him too deep with questions. He might begin to think, and then—! So I came away. I mistrust these quiet moods of his; so I have given the attendant a hint to look closely after him, and to have a strait-waistcoat ready in case of need.
