Dracula is one of
those immortal stories that pretty much any intelligent person knows, even if
they haven’t read the story themselves. It’s right up there with
Hamlet,
The Strange Case of Dr. Jekyll and Mr. Hyde, and
A Christmas Carol. I had read Dracula
before, but for reasons I will clarify in a moment, I wanted to revisit the classic
novel.
So, here’s a
really brief overview of the story for
anyone who doesn’t know it: Dracula is an evil vampire who leaves his native
land of Transylvania to come to England. He wreaks havoc there, draining the
blood of a young woman without being suspected… that is, until someone calls in
Dr. Abraham Van Helsing, who realises that Dracula is behind it all.
