Penguin Classics presents Bram Stoker’s Dracula, adapted for audio and available as an electronic download as part of the Penguin British Library series. Read by the acting professional Richard E. Grant.

‘Alone using the dead! I dare not venture out, for I could hear the low howl of the wolf through the damaged window’

A chilling masterpiece from the horror genre, Dracula also illuminated dark edges of Victorian sexuality. When Jonathan Harker appointments Transylvania to advise Count number Dracula on the London home, he makes a horrifying finding. Soon afterwards, several disturbing incidents unfold in Britain: an unmanned ship is wrecked at Whitby; strange puncture marks show up on a woman’s neck; as well as the inmate of a lunatic asylum raves about the arrival of his ‘Get good at’, even though a determined group of adversaries prepares to face the terrifying Count number.

Part of a series of vintage recordings extracted from the Penguin Archives. Inexpensive, collectable, quality productions – perfect for on-the-go listening.
