Synopsis

____________________

'Reading Dracul is like watching a classic vampire film . . . a terrifying read that gave me hours of fun.' R. L. Stine, author of Goosebumps

Shortlisted for the 2018 Bram Stoker Awards for Best Horror Novel

Dracul reveals not only the true origins of Dracula himself, but also of his creator, Bram Stoker . . . and of the elusive, enigmatic woman who connects them.

It is 1868, and a 22-year-old Bram Stoker has locked himself inside an abbey's tower to face off against a vile and ungodly beast. He is armed with mirrors and crucifixes and holy water and a gun - and is kept company by a bottle of plum brandy. His fervent prayer is that he will survive this one night - a night that will prove to be the longest of his life.

Desperate to leave a record of what he has witnessed, the young man scribbles out the events that brought him to this point - and tells an extraordinary tale of childhood illness, a mysterious nanny, and stories once thought to be fables now proven true.

BBC/Netflix adaptation of Bram Stoker's original Dracula is coming this Winter, by Steve Moffat and Mark Gatiss - the team behind Sherlock

Inspired by the notes DRACULA's creator left behind, Dracul is a riveting, heart-stoppingly scary novel of Gothic suspense . . .
