Dracula (1897), Bram Stoker's novel, combining the 15th-cent. Walachian tyrant Vlad Dracul with the vampire of European folklore. The narrative is made up of journals, letters, newspaper cuttings, and phonograph recordings, beginning with Jonathan Harker's account of a journey to Transylvania on behalf of his law firm to meet the mysterious Count Dracula.
