A young lawyer travels to a crumbling castle in Transylvania to close a property deal, and realises far too late that his host does not cast a reflection. When Count Dracula ships himself to England in a box of earth, a small band of friends must learn the old superstitions fast.
Told through diaries, letters and news clippings, Stoker’s novel still reads with astonishing urgency. Every vampire story since is a footnote to this one.
Read it with the lights on.
