Dracula by Bram Stoker and published in 1897. The narrative is related through letters, diary entries, and newspaper articles. It has no single protagonist, but opens with solicitor Jonathan Harker taking a business trip to stay at the castle of a Transylvanian nobleman, Count Dracula. The novel tells the story of Dracula’s attempt to move from Transylvania to England so that he may find new blood and spread the undead curse.
DESCRIPTION
Now, Bram Stoker’s Dracula—the pinnacle of Gothic horror for generations—rises again with hauntingly dramatic digital artwork from two-time Eisner Award winner J.H. Williams III.
When young English lawyer Jonathan Harker arrives in Transylvania on the eve of Saint George’s Day, he cannot shake a strange feeling of uneasiness. Dogs howl throughout the night, villagers speak fearfully of evil omens, and the air grows colder as he arrives at his destination: the castle of Count Dracula.
Jonathan has been summoned by the count for business, and while he finds his new host obliging and polite, he can’t help but notice the man’s pallid skin, odd lack of appetite, and long daytime absences. Puzzled, the young solicitor begins to search the castle for clues—and unearths a deadly secret that could endanger him and those he loves most.
Journey through the Carpathian Mountains, lose yourself in the shadowy streets of London, and experience all the action, suspense, and terror of this classic tale. Just be sure to leave a light on.

very good research on the topic of different nations! the foreign words make sense, the customs do exist and the overall feel of it is true. having said that this book is a trip, starts off super fast and interesting, slows down after 60 pages or so and picks up its pace at about 150 pages in, but still not as good as the beginning where Dracula is an actual character with words and actions and not a symbol for a bunch of people to fuss over. it's a no for vampire lovers as it literally gives you minimum of his perspective and the philosophy doesn't go deeper than DEMON EVIL DEMON DEMON UNCLEAN MUST DIE, but it is a yes, if you want to read 400 pages of rich people with too much time writing in their diaries and being emotional
i still believe that there was mild erotica for a while
