Part of Penguin's beautiful hardback Clothbound Classics series, designed by the award-winning Coralie Bickford-Smith, these delectable and collectible editions are bound in high-quality colourful, tactile cloth with foil stamped into the design When Jonathan Harker visits Transylvania to help Count Dracula with the purchase of a London house, he makes a series of horrific discoveries about his client. Soon afterwards, various bizarre incidents unfold in England: an apparently unmanned ship is wrecked off the coast of Whitby; a young woman discovers strange puncture marks on her neck; and the inmate of a lunatic asylum raves about the 'Master' and his imminent arrival. In Dracula, Bram Stoker created one of the great masterpieces of the horror genre, brilliantly evoking a nightmare world of vampires and vampire hunters and also illuminating the dark corners of Victorian sexuality and desire. Review: Nice. - The quality is no doubt excellent, the cover is nothing flashy but I guess it is appropriate given the tone of the book. Nothing to complain here. Review: A horror masterpiece... - My favourite of all time. The book has really good in binding and the pages are of top quality. Love the fonts too. Cover will give an impression of ancient books.

A beautiful edition
Bram Stoker’s ‘Dracula’ has been reprinted countless times: it is a wonderful story and rightfully a timeless gothic classic. The trick is finding a good version of the book. This edition is the best-quality for price I have found. It provides, in beautiful canvas-bound hardcover, a reprinting of the 1897 first edition, as opposed to the abridged 1901 edition (there are only these two official ‘Dracula’ versions in circulation). This means you are getting the complete Dracula story as first experienced by Victorian readers (not the condensed version Stoker prepared in 1901 which omitted certain scenes). Only minor typographical corrections have been made so that the manuscript fits the Penguin Classics style guide, and certain errors that were made in the 1897 printing have been fixed (four incorrectly listed dates in crucial diary entries, and one misspelled word). For the price point, this is as close to an original edition as a reader can come.
