About
From Transylvania to England and back again, this classic 19th century Gothic book has became a cornerstone for vampire novels and movies.
A masterpiece of the horror genre, "Dracula" probes identity, sanity and the dark corners of Victorian sexuality and desire. It begins when Jonathan Harker visits Transylvania to help Count Dracula purchase a London house, and makes horrifying discoveries in his client's castle. Disturbing incidents unfold in England - an unmanned ship is wrecked; strange puncture marks appear on a young woman's neck; a lunatic asylum inmate raves about the imminent arrival of his 'Master' - and a determined group of adversaries prepare to battle the Count and his insatiable appetite for blood.
Dr. Van Helsing and his accomplices begin the chase to track down the infamous vampire Count Dracula before he completes his quest of moving into England and further spreading the undead disease. Even with the garlic, the crosses, and the holy water, the Count manages to entrance a fellow lady vampire hunter and bring her to the undead side. Van Helsing and his group will stop short not even to death itself until they have conquered the most notorious villain of all time, the invincible Count Dracula.

"Narrators Samuel James, Billie Fulford-Brown, Imogen Wilde, and Johnny Heller provide accents ranging from British to Romanian to American in this tale of vampires and intrigue. The story is told through the journals and letters of the main characters. An appropriately British-accented Jonathan Harker arrives in Budapest, headed to Transylvania to meet the nobleman Count Dracula. He stays at the Count's castle, where he's plagued by nightmares and insomnia, a state dramatized by the quick pace of the narration. The race across the continent to stop Dracula ensues. Letters from the female characters are appropriately narrated by female narrators, with Mina Harker's journal voiced by Billie Fulford-Brown. American and other accents help to round out the characters in this literary classic. S.E.G. � AudioFile 2025, Portland, Maine"
