Christopher Lee is one of the world's most iconic horror and fantasy actors - coming to prominence with the 1957 film `The Curse of Frankenstein' in which he played Frankenstein's monster. I recently had the pleasure of diving into Bram Stoker's "Dracula," and it's safe to say that I was utterly captivated from start to finish. He was a big-framed, ebullient, genial, gentleman, with red hair and beard, who never lost his soft Irish brogue, was blessed with wit, and a host of entertaining stories fit for every occasion. Beautiful presentation, hard backed, gold foil page edges, cloth bookmark stitched into the spine, lovely dust-cover, and a micro size that can fit in any pocket or bag. Temptation, horror, and thrills manifest when Count Dracula comes head to head with Abraham Van Helsing in this completely unabridged edition, designed with a smaller format for easy portability.Puffin Clothbound Classics are stunning collectable gift editions of some of the best-loved classics in the world - including this dazzling edition of Dracula. However, despite literary acclaim, Stoker was never able to make much money from his work and died in 1912 almost penniless. This luxury publication is produced in full colour, with stills, lobby cards and posters illustrating in-depth articles and biographies that throw new light on this classic horror movie. For years after I wondered how fantastic it would be if it was republished and bound like the 1st Edition of 1897.

When Jonathan Harker is summoned to Transylvania to finalize a property deal for the mysterious Count Dracula, he stumbles upon an ancient evil he is unprepared to face. Even the deep, burning eyes seemed set amongst the swollen flesh, for the lids and pouches underneath were bloated. Towards morning I slept and was wakened by the continuous knocking at my door, so I guess I must have been sleeping soundly then.Sometimes we saw little towns or castles on the top of steep hills such as we see in old missals; sometimes we ran by rivers and streams which seemed from the wide stony margin on each side of them to be subject to great floods.

I trust that your journey from London has been a happy one, and that you will enjoy your stay in my beautiful land. Some of them were just like the peasants at home or those I saw coming through France and Germany, with short jackets and round hats and home-made trousers; but others were very picturesque. As a result, before I read that book, I thought I would reread the classics in vampire literature this October – Dracula, and Interview With the Vampire. Come down the travelators, exit Sainsbury's, turn right and follow the pedestrianised walkway to Crown Walk and turn right - and Coles will be right in front of you. There was a dog howling all night under my window, which may have had something to do with it; or it may have been the paprika, for I had to drink up all the water in my carafe, and was still thirsty.I liked all the characters, and even though I knew when and where tragedy would strike, the emotional impact was no less on this reread. Essential volumes for the shelves of every classic literature lover, the Chartwell Classics series includes beautifully presented works and collections from some of the most important authors in literary history. Dracula has been assigned to many literary genres including vampire literature, horror fiction, gothic fiction, and invasion literature. This is not intended to be a full statement of all your rights under the Distance Selling Regulations. It provides, in beautiful canvas-bound hardcover, a reprinting of the 1897 first edition, as opposed to the abridged 1901 edition (there are only these two official ‘Dracula’ versions in circulation).
