Includes:: an exclusive introduction & notes by Dr David Rogers, Kingston University.
‘ There he lay looking as if youth had been half-renewed, for the white hair & moustache were changed to dark iron-grey, the cheeks were fuller, & the white skin seemed ruby-red underneath; the mouth was redder than ever, for on the lips were gouts of fresh blood, which trickled from the corners of the mouth & ran over the chin & neck.
Even the deep, burning eyes seemed set amongst the swollen flesh, for the lids & pouches underneath were bloated. It seemed as if the whole awful creature were simply gorged with blood; he lay like a filthy leech, exhausted with his repletion.’
Thus Bram Stoker, one of the greatest exponents of the supernatural narrative, describes the demonic subject of his chilling masterpiece Dracula, a truly iconic & unsettling tale of vampirism.
