Description

Jonathan Harker, engaged to Mina Westerman, has come from England to Count Dracula's crumbling mansion in the Carpathian Mountains to provide legal aid in a real estate transaction. Dracula has bought a castle next to an asylum in England and plans to travel over to take up his new residence. While at first impressed by Dracula's inviting manner, Jonathan soon becomes unnerved by the sinister goings-on within the castle, including a terrifying encounter with three vampire brides. Meanwhile, show more back in England, strange things are also afoot. Asylum inmate Renfield is raving about 'not letting him in' and Mina's sister Lucy is growing paler by the day. Dr Seward, in love with Lucy and fearful for her life, calls in his rival Van Helsing to help solve the mystery of her illness. It seems Dracula is on his way. show less

It is a really good book. The language is a tad tough to read, but if you do persist with it then you will find yourself immersed in an amazing story of adventure and adrenaline. Eat this, Twihards.
