Bram Stoker's 1897 novel, Dracula, may not be the first vampire novel, but it is certainly the most famous. These scenarios couldn't be more different than the conservative Victorian era during which the book was published - though critically praised from the start as being ahead of its time it was not an immediate bestseller.
The story is told through a series of letters recounting a young Jonathan Harker, a lawyer who visits Count Dracula to arrange a real estate transaction and realizes before long that he has been taken hostage there. Harker escapes after a series of horrifying events, and Dracula makes it his mission to go after the young lawyer - and his lovely fiancé, Mina, and Mina's friends.
With the assistance of an old teacher, Professor Abraham Van Helsing, the tide turns against Dracula with Van Helsing chasing the Count back to his Transylvania castle, where the ultimate battle takes place.

Some literary historians believe that Dracula's Guest is an excerpt excised from the original manuscript of Bram Stoker's masterpiece Dracula by an overzealous editor. 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. The story is currently being developed into a television series that is slated to air on the CW network in 2010. A must-read for lovers of vampire lit. This edition also includes these short stories: The Judge's House, The Squaw, The Secret of the Growing Gold, The Gipsy Prophecy, The Coming of Abel Behenna, The Burial of the Rats, A Dream of Red Hands and Crooken Sands.
The horror novel The Lair of the White Worm, also titled The Garden of Evil, was written by Bram Stoker, the creator of Dracula. Based in part on the Lambton Worm legend, it tells the story of Adam Salton who travels to England at his granduncle's behest in order to establish family ties. But once there Adam finds himself at the heart of strange and unaccountable developments. Ken Russell's made a film adaption in 1988, which quickly became a cult classic.
The Jewel of Seven Stars is a horror, written by Dracula's Bram Stoker. Archeologists and grave robbers have become complacent about the warning written on the entranceway to the tomb of Queen Terra, an ancient Egyptian mummy. But everyone who manages to touch the coveted Jewel of Seven Stars, clutched in her hands, dies a mysterious death—with strangle marks around their necks.
The Lady of the Shroud is another vampire story from the man who coined the term "undead." A wealthy heir falls in love with a beautiful woman, though it is unclear whether she is a vampire or not. The story contains Stoker's classic elements, combined with more action-packed scenes.
Think straight-up horror was Bram Stoker's only gig? Think again. In The Man, the renowned author of Dracula delves into lush Gothic romance. This tale brings the mystery and intrigue that still delights readers of Dracula into the realm of romance, and will disappoint neither Stoker enthusiasts nor fans of the romantic genre.
In the years following the success of his 1897 novel Dracula, Bram Stoker took on an even more ambitious creative feat: combining mystery, romance, adventure, Gothic atmosphere, and supernatural elements in one gripping tale. The end result of this process of experimentation was The Mystery of the Sea. If you're a fan of Stoker's fiction or a sucker for classic action-adventure, add this to your must-read list.
