The Penguin English Library Edition of Dracula by Bram Stoker

'Alone with the dead! I dare not go out, for I can hear the low howl of the wolf through the broken window'

A chilling masterpiece of the horror genre, Dracula also illuminated dark corners of Victorian sexuality. When Jonathan Harker visits Transylvania to advise Count Dracula on a London home, he makes a horrifying discovery. Soon afterwards, a number of disturbing incidents unfold in England: an unmanned ship is wrecked at Whitby; strange puncture marks appear on a young woman's neck; and the inmate of a lunatic asylum raves about the arrival of his 'Master', while a determined group of adversaries prepares to face the terrifying Count.

The Penguin English Library - 100 editions of the best fiction in English, from the eighteenth century and the very first novels to the beginning of the First World War.

5.0 out of 5 stars you must own this copy. 13 April 2012
By aidan cullen
Format:Hardcover|Amazon Verified Purchase
Being a big fan of Dracula and already owning a hardback copy i decided to purchase this copy which is to commemorate the hundred-year anniversary of the author's death. it's a facsimile exact copy of the first edition published by Archibald Constable in 1897. i was really surprised when it arrived to find it's really well packaged in a presentation hardback style box to protect it. i was even more surprised to find it's actually 'Limited Edition' with only 1000 copy's printed in existence. each Numbered Copy is a facsimile of the first edition. its a beautiful hardback book exactly as shown in the photo, golden bright yellow in color with blood red text imprinted on its hardcover. the pages on top and bottom are smooth but down along the side the pages are rough cut. presumably to reflect how the original copy's were printed. this exclusive edition also includes a never before seen copy of the 'Original Contract' between Bram Stoker and his publisher, as signed by Stoker Himself. no detail has been spared here this truly is a beautiful well made book and feels over a hundred years old when your holding it. its well worth the money whether your a collector or just love the iconic love story of Dracula.

5.0 out of 5 stars A Fantastic Facsimile of the Greatest Terror Book 10 May 2012
By R. Mitra
Format:Hardcover
I reserved the book prior to publication and waited for over a year to get it. When I ordered it, I knew it was going to be a facsimile of the original 1897 publication. I did not realize, until I held it my hands, that it is an extraordinary, sumptuous, limited edition stored in a red box. I am surprised that the edition has not already sold out.
Dracula, is and will remain the eeriest book of terror ever. I use the word terror advisedly: for horror is what the world has turned it into: with images of splashing, dripping blood. The original is simply mind bending terror. A piece of moonlight turning into a beautiful woman seeking blood, a woman losing her child and Count Dracula later feeding the wolves are scenes of such mind boggling tension that I cannot describe them adequately. Read the book, in the quiet of midnight, preferably with no one else in the house or in deep sleep. The start of the book is almost like a travel guide to Eastern Europe. That part of the world has gone through the heaving ravages of war, genocide and political catastrophies over the past hundred years. Mr. Stoker (Abraham Stoker-from which only Bram was used in as the author's name)wrote seductively, each word is to savored.
Unfortunately, for those who never read the book and their impression of Dracula is from the myriads of bloody, senseless, mindless movies (not counting Nosferatu and Bela Lugosi classics) including clones like Interview with the Vampire, would never know what a literary masterpiece they have missed.
When the story moves to London, the ultimate tragedy of Jonathan, Lucy and Mina are heartrending. Matching the terrifying Count is the towering figure of Dr Van Helsing. Such well known names, but the original book that described them are now only available in uninteresting paperbacks, Signet, Wordworth etc. Folio's edition suffers from illustrations that don't do justice to the book.
So back to holding this book in my hands, it is a sensation of returning 50 years back, when I read the Pocket Book edition, now a collector's item because of the beautiful cover, I can just thank the publishers. A word of note: Colin Toibin's introduction is really superfluous. It does nothing to enhance the understanding of the book, it does not even mention the very important fact that no one knows how many copies (it was a bestseller)of Dracula were sold in the first few months because a fire at the publisher's house destroyed all records.
Perhaps a the spirit of Dracula came back to haunt the Constable house. With this book, the curse will surely be lifted. Magnificent.

5.0 out of 5 stars Beautiful limited edition 24 Nov 2012
By Amazonian
Format:Hardcover|Amazon Verified Purchase
This is a wonderful edition of a classic novel, beautifully produced and presented. I was pleasantly surprised at how well this hardback book was packaged; it comes in a sturdy, red slipcase which is in turn housed in a nice, protective box. You would have to be extremely unlucky for this to be damaged in transit.

I don't really have much more to add to existing reviews, except to say that this really is a must-have edition if you are a collector or even if you just like the novel. I already have two other copies of Dracula and purchased this as an investment as it is sure to become a sought after item in years to come. I think this quality product is well worth the asking price.

Please take a look at the photos I submitted to get a better idea of what is included in this beautiful package.

As this book failed to download properly, my fault of course, I was unable to read this book properly so I am unable to give a fair assessment

3.0 out of 5 stars Engaging beginning
The beginning was engaging with Jonathan Harkers imprisonment, but towards the end I sadly lost interest. Still a good read.
