"An exercise in masculine anxiety and nationalist paranoia, Stoker's novel is filled with scenes that are staggeringly lurid and perverse... The one in Highgate cemetery, where Arthur and Van Helsing drive a stake through the writhing body of the vampirised Lucy Westenra, is my favourite" -- Sarah Waters "It is splendid. No book since Mrs. Shelley's Frankenstein or indeed any other at all has come near yours in originality, or terror" -- Bram Stoker's Mother "In my opinion Dracula is about how suffocating Victorian times were. The bonus is, you get vampires!" -- Ryan Adams
