Bram Stoker's classic nineteenth century vampire epic, in which an English solicitor heads out to a castle in the Carpathian Mountains, quickly descending into the supernatural world of the Transylvanian noble in residence there.

For the first time in English comes a remarkable literary discovery. In 1928, Turkish author Ali R¿za Seyfiölu pirated Bram Stoker's Dracula, completely rewriting it with new material, patriotic overtones, and Islam. A rare example of a "bootleg" novel, it's also the first adaptation to plainly identify Dracula as the historical warlord Vlad the Impaler.In Seyfiölu's story, when a modern Istanbul is threatened by the invasion of an ancient vampire, three veterans of the Turkish War of Independence are thrust into a conflict with their nation's hereditary enemy. Seyfiölu boldly reworks Stoker's classic tale, retelling it from the unique perspective of a people once routed by the real-life Dracula.Dracula in Istanbul: The Unauthorized Version of the Gothic Classic presents the first ever translation into English of Seyfiölu's novel, Kaz¿kl¿ Voyvoda. With a foreword by Anno Dracula author Kim Newman, an introduction by Turkish translation scholar ¿ehnaz Tahir Gürçälar, an afterword on the 1953 movie adaptation Drakula ¿stanbul'da by film scholar Iain Robert Smith, and several rare photos from the film, Dracula in Istanbul is a rare combination of literary artifact and genuine entertainment. From movie and vampire buffs to literature scholars, there's enough here to delight all the children of the night.

This is the Complete Unabridged Collectors Edition of Dracula, the 1897 classic horror novel by Irish author Bram Stoker, featuring as its primary antagonist the vampire Count Dracula. It was first published as a hardcover in 1897 by Archibald Constable and Company. Dracula has been attributed to many literary genres including vampire literature, horror fiction, the gothic novel and invasion literature. Structurally it is an epistolary novel, that is, told as a series of letters, diary entries, ships' logs, etc. Literary critics have examined many themes in the novel, such as the role of women in Victorian culture, conventional and conservative sexuality, immigration, colonialism, postcolonialism and folklore. Dracula has inspired countless movies, books, and plays. But few, if any, have been fully faithful to this, Bram Stoker's original, best-selling novel of mystery and horror, love and death, sin and redemption. Dracula chronicles the vampire's journey from Transylvania to the nighttime streets of London. There, he searches for the blood of strong men and beautiful women while his enemies plot to rid the world of his frightful power. REVIEWS: "Dracula is a virtual textbook on Victorian repression of the erotic and fear of female sexuality." - Playboy "Before all the vampires of modern cinema and horror novels, there was Bram Stoker's Dracula, the original head honcho of horror. All others pale in comparison." - Stephen King "In this volume, lovingly restored to its original unabridged and untouched glory, the power and majesty of Bram Stoker's masterpiece emerges from the coffin dripping with new life." - Fangoria Magazine
