When it was first published in 1897 - 120 years ago - Irish author Bram
Stoker's Dracula was ranked by the Mail above work by Mary Shelley
and Edgar Allan Poe, as well as Wuthering Heights. Yet it never
made Stoker any money. Since 1931's film Nosferatu the Vampire,
however, it has never been out of print and is legendary among fans of
the dark, macabre and mysterious ...
Critic John Sutherland, a
Dracula fan since childhood - and author of the literary puzzle
classics Is Heathcliff a Murderer? and Can Jane Eyre be Happy? explores
the enigmas and puzzles of this towering giant of gothic novels, such
as: Who was Dracula's father? Why does the Count come to England? Does
the Count actually give Jonathan a 'love bite'? Why does every country
we know of have a vampire legend? And finally - how long is it before
we're all vampires? The book also includes 'Dracula Digested' by John
Crace.
