El joven terminará siendo prisionero del conde Drácula y descubriendo, poco a poco, la terrible naturaleza de su captor y sus planes para extender su poder desde Londres.Una adaptacion del famoso clasico de Stoker, pero conservando todos sus matices y esa tensa atmosfera de suspense tan caracteristica.

Bram Stoker pasó los primeros siete años de su vida recluido en su casa a causa de una enfermedad. Su único entretenimiento eran las oscuras leyendas irlandesas que su madre le contaba. No sería de extrañar que esas cronicas hilvanadas con elementos sobrenaturales generaran el caldo de cultivo que llevo a Stoker a convertirse en uno de los mas grandes autores de terror gotico. Durante mucho tiempo se considero El invitado de Dracula un primer capitulo eliminado de Dracula, la obra capital de Stoker, si bien el estudio de las notas del autor a partir de los años setenta desecho esta idea y dio pie a otras teorias. Sea como fuere, la historia, que funciona de manera independiente, vio la luz en 1914, dos años despues de la muerte del escritor irlandes, como parte de una recopilacion de sus mejores relatos. Reunidas de nuevo en esta edicion, estas ocho joyas del genero demuestran la maestria de Bram Stoker para desarrollar ficciones escalofriantes que pondran a prueba los limites de nuestro miedo.

t was butcher work...the horrid screeching as the stake drove home; the plunging of writhing form, and lips of bloody foam' Bram Stoker's 1897 Gothic shocker introduced Count Dracula to the world, an ancient creature bent on bringing his contagion to London, the very heart of the British Empire. Only a handful of men and women stand between Dracula and his long-cherished goal, but they are vulnerable and weak against the cunning and supernatural powers of the Count and his legions. As the horrifying story unfolds in the diaries and letters of young Jonathan Harker, Lucy, Mina, and Dr Seward, Dracula will be victorious unless his nemesis Professor Van Helsing can persuade them that monsters still lurk in the era of electric light.
