Dracula

Silvia Moreno-Garcia presents a new edition of Bram Stoker’s classic tale, featuring an introduction by Alexander Chee and illustrations by Kaitlin Chan. This Restless Classics release brings the gothic horror narrative to modern readers with fresh visual and contextual layers. The story follows a couple and their circle as they face the Count, a blood-drinking entity bound by a contagious curse. He seeks to move from his isolated Transylvanian castle to the vibrant London of the nineteenth century. The group relies on Professor Van Helsing to help them confront this undead threat. They must deal with the dangers inherent in their offensive against such a powerful foe. The narrative structure begins with a journal entry noting a train delay upon arriving in Vienna from Munich. This epistolary style grounds the supernatural events in mundane reality. The book spans 480 pages and carries the ISBN 9781632060655. This edition suits readers who enjoy traditional gothic fiction and supernatural tales rooted in late nineteenth-century settings. It may not appeal to those seeking fast-paced action or modern reinterpretations of the myth. The text remains faithful to Stoker’s original plot while offering new artistic perspectives through Chan’s work and Chee’s commentary.
