The listing, Dracula by Bram Abridged by Doris Dickens. Stoker has ended.

From back: Told in journal fragments that cannot provide any single reliable perspective, Dracula (1897) is at the same time intensely Romantic and very modern. It unfolds the story of a Transylvanian Don Juan, the aristocratic vampire Count Dracula who preys on desirous damsels, and of the mission launched to destroy him from the perplexingly appropriate setting of a lunatic asylum. Dracula, perhaps the ultimate terror myth, probes deeply into the question of human identity and sanity, sexual power versus sexual desire, and what Freud was to call 'the return of the repressed'. Bram Stoker's masterpiece embodies a struggle which, as Maurice Hindle remarks, is the struggle to recover 'an embattled male's deepest sense of himself as male'. Dracula was written in 1897 by Irish author Bram Stoker. The tale is told through a series of diary entries and letters between the main cast of characters. The primary antagonist is the vampire Count Dracula who moves from his ancestral home in Transylvania to England, with the help of solicitor Johnathan Harker, as he wishes to be part of the teeming masses of people in Victorian London.
