Bram Stoker assembles his 1897 novel from journals, letters, telegrams and press cuttings, and that scrapbook method is what makes the dread accumulate.
A young English solicitor's business trip to Transylvania opens the story, which then widens across Europe as a small group works out what it is facing. Gothic setting, folklore and slow-building suspense carry the book rather than shock, and this Collins Classics edition sets the whole text in a readable paperback.
The takeaway:
• Unabridged text of the 1897 Gothic novel
• Documentary structure built from diaries, letters and reports
• Source material behind a century of stage and screen adaptations
• Clear typesetting that keeps the multiple narrators easy to follow
Fitting for Gothic fiction readers, literature students and collectors of horror classics, offered in the Collins Classics edition by Boipoka.
