Awareness of Dracula as a masterly gothic thriller has increased ever since its publication in 1897, and the novel is regarded as one of the most seminal horror stories ever written, having inspired countless copycat tales and literary spin-offs. The tale of young Englishman Jonathan Harker's journey to Transylvania, into the very heart of Count Draculas evil realm, is compelling, but it is perhaps the journey of the vampire to Englandand the dangers he poses to Jonathans beloved Minathat is more horrifying.

Though Stoker did not invent vampires - and in fact based his character's life-in-death on extensive research into European folklore - his novel elevated the nocturnal monster to iconic stature, spawning a genre of stories and movies which flourishes to this day. A century of imitation has done nothing to diminish its power. As the suave and chilling Count stalks his prey from a crumbling castle in the Carpathians to a lunatic asylum in Purfleet and the bedrooms of his swooning female victims, the drama builds to a fever pitch of sensuality and suspense.Dracula is not only a classic of Gothic horror and a wellspring of modern mythology: it is also irresistible entertainment.

"Drácula", escrito por Bram Stoker en 1897, se ha convertido en un hito de la literatura gótica. Esta obra narra la travesía del misterioso conde Drácula desde Transilvania hasta Londres, donde busca nuevas victimas en un mundo cada vez mas moderno. Stoker emplea un estilo epistolar, presentando la historia a traves de cartas, diarios y recortes de periodicos, lo que crea un sentido de inmediatez y realismo. Su contexto literario refleja el temor victoriano hacia la modernidad y lo extranjero, abordando temas como el erotismo, la sexualidad y la lucha entre el bien y el mal, a la vez que reinterpreta mitos sobre vampiros, popularizando asi el arquetipo del vampiro en la cultura occidental. Bram Stoker, un autor irlandes con una vida inmersa en el teatro y la literatura, se fue familiarizando con el genero gotico y las tradiciones folcloricas de su pais. Su relacion con el famoso actor Henry Irving, a quien sirvio como gerente, tambien influyo en su narrativa dramatica. Su interes por el ocultismo y los mitos europeos se entrelazan en "Dracula", haciendo que la obra sea un producto de su tiempo y experiencias. Recomiendo "Dracula" no solo como una lectura fascinante que trasciende el mero entretenimiento, sino como una obra de referencia esencial para comprender los temores y anhelos de una era. Su complejidad y simbolismo invitan a la reflexion y al analisis, convirtiendola en una lectura obligada para quienes se interesan por la literatura gotica y su legado en la cultura contemporanea.
