    About this ebook

    Unlock the more straightforward side of Dracula with this concise and insightful summary and analysis!

    This engaging summary presents an analysis of Dracula by Bram Stoker, which tells the nail-biting story of a blood-thirsty vampire as he hunts for victims, and the desperate attempts of a group of friends to stop him in his tracks. Credited with creating many of the now integral characteristics of a vampire, such as a fear of garlic and lack of reflection, Dracula is a classic novel that continues to entertain audiences today. While Stoker was not well known during his time, his novel has now been adapted various times for the big screen, and Dracula is now a notorious figure in the collective imagination.

      Dracula by Bram Stoker (Book Analysis) - Bright Summaries

      English novelist

      Born in Dublin in 1847

      Died in London in 1912

      Notable works:

      The Snake’s Pass (1890), novel

      Dracula (1897), novel

      The Lady of the Shroud (1909), novel

      Abraham Stoker, better known as Bram Stoker, was a novelist who was born in Dublin in 1847. A weak child but a brilliant student, this literature and theatre fanatic became a columnist for the Dublin Evening Mail and spent his time in Dublin’s artistic circles. There he met Walt Whitman, Oscar Wilde and, above all, the actor Henry Irving. The profound friendship that connected them doubled as a lasting artistic collaboration: Bram Stoker became the manager at the Lyceum Theatre in London which Irving ran. He remained there for 27 years. Despite his intense theatrical activity, Bram Stoker also devoted himself to writing. In 1882, he published a collection of fairy tale novellas, Under the Sunset, then, in 1890, his second novel The Snake’s Pass. Dracula was published in 1897.
