Book details
Dracula: In Easy-to-Read Type
Description
An adaptation of the classic horror tale, 'Dracula: In Easy-to-Read Type' simplifies Bram Stoker's spine-chilling story of the ancient vampire Count Dracula. Intended for younger audiences, the book maintains the essential elements of the original story, focusing on the battle between Dracula and a small group of people led by Professor Van Helsing. During a business visit to Count Dracula's castle in Transylvania, a young English solicitor named Jonathan Harker finds himself at the center of a series of horrifying incidents. Harker is attacked by three phantom women, observes the Count's transformation from human to bat form, and discovers puncture wounds on his own neck that seem to have been made by teeth. Harker returns home upon his escape from Dracula's grim fortress, but a friend's strange malady — involving sleepwalking, inexplicable blood loss, and mysterious throat wounds — initiates a frantic vampire hunt. The popularity of Bram Stoker's 1897 horror romance is as deathless as any vampire. Its supernatural appeal has spawned a host of film and stage adaptations, and more than a century after its initial publication, it continues to hold readers spellbound.
