&lt;p>Dracula is an 1897 Gothic horror novel by Irish author Bram Stoker. It introduced Count Dracula, and established many conventions of subsequent vampire fantasy. The novel tells the story of Dracula&amp;rsquo;s attempt to move from Transylvania to England so that he may find new blood and spread the undead curse, and of the battle between Dracula and a small group of men and a woman led by Professor Abraham Van Helsing.&lt;/p></description></item><item><title>Dracula by Bram Stoker (1897)</title><link>https://paapereira.xyz/books/dracula/</link><pubDate>Tue, 08 Jul 2014 23:37:00 +0100</pubDate><guid>https://paapereira.xyz/books/dracula/</guid><description>&lt;h3 id="dracula-by-bram-stoker-1897">Dracula by Bram Stoker (1897)&lt;/h3>

&lt;p>Because of the widespread awareness of the story of the evil Transylvanian count and the success of numerous film adaptations that have been created over the years, the modern audience hasn&amp;rsquo;t had a chance to truly appreciate the unknowing dread that readers would have felt when reading Bram Stoker&amp;rsquo;s original 1897 manuscript. Most modern productions employ campiness or sound effects to try to bring back that gothic tension, but we&amp;rsquo;ve tried something different. By returning to Stoker&amp;rsquo;s original storytelling structure - a series of letters and journal entries voiced by Jonathan Harker, Dr. Van Helsing, and other characters - with an all-star cast of narrators, we&amp;rsquo;ve sought to recapture its originally intended horror and power.&lt;/p></description></item></channel></rss>
