Dracula is an 1897 Gothic horror novel by Irish author Bram Stoker.

It introduced the character of Count Dracula, and established many conventions of subsequent vampire fantasy.

The novel tells the story of Dracula's attempt to move from Transylvania to England so that he may find new blood and spread the undead curse, and of the battle between Dracula and a small group of men and a woman led by Professor Abraham Van Helsing.

Dracula

Des romans, nouvelles et textes inédits qui éclairent l'œuvre d'un premier grand maître de la littérature fantastique. Les légendes celtiques qui ont bercé son enfance, les bouleversements apportés par la Révolution industrielle et les découvertes scientifiques, la vogue en cette fin du XIXe du spiritisme et des interrogations sur le psychisme humain, tout ce matériau nourrit l'imagination féconde de Bram Stoker, mise au service d'un formidable talent de paysagiste et de conteur. Romans : Dracula (1897) est un chef-d'œuvre dont chacun connaît la trame. Avec ce roman, Stoker a donné naissance à un mythe moderne qui dépassera son auteur. Le Repaire du ver blanc (1911, Christian Bourgois, 1970 puis NéO, 1986) voit resurgir un monstre antédiluvien, un grand serpent souterrain. Le Joyau des sept étoiles (1903, NéO, 1982), où il est question de la résurrection d'une reine antique, appartient à la tradition de fantastique populaire égyptien dont She, de H. Rider Haggard (1887) est un des fleurons. La Dame au linceul (1909, Actes Sud, 1996), bâti comme Dracula sous forme de lettres et de journaux intimes, montre un Anglais, installé dans un pays d'Europe centrale, tombant amoureux d'une apparition dont il ne sait s'il s'agit d'un vampire ou d'une jeune femme.28 Contes et nouvelles : Outre Au-delà du crépuscule (1882), recueil de contes merveilleux et fantastiques écrit pour son fils (José Corti, 1998), cette édition propose des nouvelles parues çà et là en France, ainsi que des inédits, une filmographie et une bibliographie.

Widely believed to be the deleted first chapter of Dracula, Dracula's Guest, taken from Bram Stoker's collection of short stories, follows an Englishman, presumed to be Jonathan Harker, on a visit to Munich en route to Transylvania. Despite warnings from his hotelier, the Englishman leaves the safety of his carriage and wanders towards an abandoned unholy village. Dracula's Guest was originally published and introduced as the excised chapter in Dracula's Guest and Other Weird Stories by Stoker's widow, Florence.
Dracula's Guest and Other 3 Weird Stories is a collection of short stories by Bram Stoker, first published in 1914, two years after Stoker's death. The stories in the collection are: "Dracula's Guest", "The Judge's House", "The Burial of the Rats", "A Dream of Red Hands" . About Dracula's Guest: this short novel recounts the travels of an unnamed Englishman who crosses paths with a foreboding wolf-like creature on his way to Count Dracula's castle. A young Englishman is restlessly wandering about Munich before traveling to Transylvania. When he foolishly leaves his hotel and explores a dense forest, he finds a graveyard with an evil ghost, endures a snowstorm, and has a surprising encounter with a wolf. This volume also includes the novella "The Lair of the White Worm," a horror story which revolves around Adam Salton, a native Australian invited to England by his only surviving relative, Richard Salton. All seems well until he meets the neighbors and discovers a cruel mesmerist, an enormous kite, a violent woman with unknown designs, and a colossal white worm seeking victims near its pit. Fans of "Dracula" will delight in this fine collection of horror stories by the same author.

Rupert helps the beautiful woman, but she disappears before he can learn much about her. Discovering the identity of this ethereal creature will change Rupert's life forever. Presented as a series of letters and diary entries, The Lady of the Shroud was written in much the same fashion as author Bram Stoker's more famous novel, Dracula, and represents Stoker's unique and haunting writing style.

Dracula, l'un des romans les plus lus de tous les temps, est également l'un des plus incompris. Un livre rempli de symboles, d'allusions, de non-dits, sibyllin, somme toute, comme l'était l'époque victorienne à laquelle il fut écrit... sur une période de dix ans, commençant à l'été 1888, quand sévissait à Londres un tueur en série qui se surnomma lui-même Jack l'Eventreur. On ne le trouva jamais. Dans la préface de l'édition islandaise de Dracula, que peu de monde a lue, Stoker évoque les meurtres de l'Eventreur comme une possible source d'inspiration. Un mystère de plus à mettre à son actif. Plongez dans ce roman sulfureux, mais soyez prévenus : vous n'en sortirez peut-être pas indemnes...
