De repente me dí cuenta de que estábamos en el patio de un enorme castillo en ruinas, por cuyos grandes ventanales no salía ni un rayo de luz y cuyas destruidas almenas destacaban sobre el cielo iluminado por la luna.

El conde Drácula pertenece a esa lista de personajes que, popularizados por el cine, han cobrado vida propia, haciendo oscurecer injustamente la obra literaria de donde proceden. Y, sin embargo, la novela de Bram Stoker sorprende por su solidez y arquitectura: la ausencia del erudito narrador decimonónico y la acumulación de materiales de primera mano confieren al relato una modernidad narrativa insólita en este tipo de obras. Al mismo tiempo, la lenta progresión en el desvelamiento del misterio, producto de la confrontación y convergencia de los diversos puntos de vista, crea una tensa atmósfera de suspense en medio de su aparente distanciamiento y frialdad.

Bram Stoker es un niño enfermizo que apenas sale de su casa. Una noche, la fiebre que le asalta casi a diario lo lleva a las puertas de la muerte. Su niñera, Ellen Crone, echa a todo el mundo de la habitación del pequeño y lo salva por medios que nadie conoce. Tras este episodio Bram se recupera, y crece su fascinación por Ellen. Él y su hermana Matilda descubren cosas muy extrañas de la niñera y antes de que puedan hablar con ella, ésta desaparece de sus vidas... Obsesionado con ella, quince años más tarde los hermanos vuelven a reunirse para encontrarla y sus caminos se cruzan con el del Conde Drácula... Inspirada por notas y textos escritos por el propio Stoker, la precuela de Drácula revela no sólo el origen de Drácula y el de Bram Stoker, sino la historia de la enigmática mujer que les conecta.

Four days and nights of peace. I am getting so strong again that I hardly know myself. It is as if I had passed through some long nightmare, and had just awakened to see the beautiful sunshine and feel the fresh air of the morning around me. I have a dim half-remembrance of long, anxious times of waiting and fearing; darkness in which there was not even the pain of hope to make present distress more poignant: and then long spells of oblivion, and the rising back to life as a diver coming up through a great press of water. Since, however, Dr. Van Helsing has been with me, all this bad dreaming seems to have passed away; the noises that used to frighten me out of my wits—the flapping against the windows, the distant voices which seemed so close to me, the harsh sounds that came from I know not where and commanded me to do I know not what—have all ceased. I go to bed now without any fear of sleep. I do not even try to keep awake. I have grown quite fond of the garlic, and a boxful arrives for me every day from Haarlem. To-night Dr. Van Helsing is going away, as he has to be for a day in Amsterdam. But I need not be watched; I am well enough to be left alone. Thank God for...

Dracula, Transylvania, and Van Helsing; this pure 1897 Bram Stoker Classic with a picture of Vlad The Impaler on the cover; a priceless collectors item and a great gift.
Of the many admiring reviews Bram Stoker's Dracula received when it first appeared in 1897, the most astute praise came from the author's mother, who wrote her son: "It is splendid. No book since Mrs. Shelley's Frankenstein or indeed any other at all has come near yours in originality, or terror." A popular bestseller in Victorian England, Stoker's hypnotic tale of the bloodthirsty Count Dracula, whose nocturnal atrocities are symbolic of an evil ages old yet forever new, endures as the quintessential story of suspense and horror. The unbridled lusts and desires, the diabolical cravings that Stoker dramatized with such mythical force, render Dracula resonant and unsettling a century later.

Stoker murió en 1912 pero alcanzó la inmortalidad literaria gracias a la creación de un personaje milenario e inmortal, el conde Drácula, que con el paso del tiempo se convertiría en un mito universal. «El invitado de Drácula y otros relatos extraños» (1914) reunía los mejores relatos de terror de Bram Stoker.
