"The most famous of all vampire stories, Dracula remains a

page-turner. Here is a new edition of one of the great horror
stories in English literature, the novel that spawned a myth and a
proliferation of vampire tales in film, television, graphic novels,
cartoons, and teen fiction, including the current craze revolving
around the Twilight and True Blood series. The volume includes a
lively and fascinating introduction by Roger Luckhurst that
considers the Gothic genre and vampire legend, discusses the
vampire tale as sexual allegory, and outlines the social and
cultural contexts that feed into the novel, including the New
Woman, new technology, race, immigration, and religion. In
addition, Luckhurst provides comprehensive explanatory notes that
flesh out vampire mythology and historical allusions, plus an
appendix featuring Stoker's short story, ""Dracula's Guest,"" an
early draft or abandoned chapter that was not published as part of
the novel. Also included are a chronology of Bram Stoker's life and
a timeline of vampire literature before Dracula. "
