Bram Stoker’s Dracula (1897) is a classic Gothic novel about Count Dracula, a vampire who comes from Transylvania to England. The story is told through diaries, letters, and newspaper articles, which makes it feel really immediate and suspenseful. It mixes old-school superstition with Victorian science, like blood transfusions, and explores themes like illness, fear, and women’s vulnerability. Even over a hundred years later, it’s creepy, intense, and shows the anxieties of Victorian society in a way that still feels relevant today.
