| Epigraph |
How these papers have been placed in sequence will be made manifest in the reading of them. All needless matters have been eliminated, so that a history almost at variance with the possibilities of latter-day belief may stand forth as simple fact. There is throughout no statement of past things wherein memory may err, for all the records chosen are exactly contemporary, given from the standpoints and within the range of knowledge of those who made them.  Al leer estos papeles se verá claramente cómo han sido ordenados cronológicamente. Se ha eliminado todo lo superfluo con objeto de presentar esta historia -casi en contradicción con las posibilidades de creencia en nuestros días- como simples hechos. No se hace referencia alguna a sucesos del pasado sobre los que la memoria se puede equivocar, dado que todos los escritos seleccionados son rigurosamente contemporáneos de los hechos, y reflejan puntos de vista y experiencias de quienes los consignaron. | |

3 May. Bistritz.—Left Munich at 8:35 P.M., on 1st May, arriving at Vienna early next morning; should have arrived at 6:46, but train was an hour late. Diario de Jonathan Harker (Redactado taquigráficamente) | |

| Quotations |
I have learned not to think little of any one's belief, no matter how strange it may be. I have tried to keep an open mind, and it is not the ordinary things of life that could close it, but the strange things, the extraordinary things, the things that make one doubt if they be mad or sane. No man knows till he has suffered from the night how sweet and dear to his heart and eye the morning can be. Ah, it is the fault of our science that it wants to explain all; and if it explain not, then it says there is nothing to explain. I heard once of an American who so defined faith: ‘that faculty which enables us to believe things which we know to be untrue'. Denin die Todtem reiten schnell. For the dead travel fast. Listen to them, the children of the night. What music they make! A brave man's hand can speak for itself; it does not even need a woman's love to hear its music. We thought her dying whilst she slept. And sleeping when she died. No man knows till he experiences it, what it is to feel his own life-blood drawn away into the veins of the woman he loves. Madness were easy to bear compared with truth like this. | |

| Last words |
“We want no proofs. We ask none to believe us! This boy will some day know what a brave and gallant woman his mother is. Already he knows her sweetness and loving care. Later on he will understand how some men so loved her, that they did dare much for her sake.”

| Book description |
A rich selection of background and source materials is provided in three areas: Contexts includes probable inspirations for Dracula in the earlier works of James Malcolm Rymer and Emily Gerard. Also included are a discussion of Stoker's working notes for the novel and "Dracula's Guest," the original opening chapter to Dracula. Reviews and Reactions reprints five early reviews of the novel. "Dramatic and Film Variations" focuses on theater and film adaptations of Dracula, two indications of the novel's unwavering appeal. David J. Skal, Gregory A. Waller, and Nina Auerbach offer their varied perspectives. Checklists of both dramatic and film adaptations are included.
Criticism collects seven theoretical interpretations of Dracula by Phyllis A. Roth, Carol A. Senf, Franco Moretti, Christopher Craft, Bram Dijsktra, Stephen D. Arata, and Talia Schaffer. | |

| Haiku summary |
Estate agent gets
It in the neck. Should avoid
Transylvania.
(abbottthomas) Dinner at the Count's.
Should be fun. No, don't bother
to bring any wine.
(Carnophile) Dracula could teach
Edward not to sparkle so.
He hates those books too.
