Descrição
The world's first Gothic bad boy is back! Read Bram Stoker's game-changing literary masterpiece as it was intended, featuring the original beginning and ending (both of which were removed prior to its initial 1897 publication).
Without a doubt, no work of Gothic literature has had such a far-reaching and long-lasting impact as Dracula...from countless films to a myriad of pale-by-comparison clones, the Transylvanian Count truly sank his thirsty fangs into our collective culture and refused to let go.
Dracula Uncut also features a new foreword, historical annotations for readers who want a more in-depth peek into the Dark Count's mysterious origins, and a plot summary for student readers who need help analyzing this sometimes complex Gothic romance text.
Always invigorating, always unexpected, this timeless, unaltered tale of Dracula, Godfather of All Vampires, is guaranteed to leave you wanting even more!
+++
Abraham "Bram" Stoker (8 November 1847 – 20 April 1912) was an Irish author, best known today for his 1897 Gothic novel, Dracula. Famous for introducing the character of the vampire Count Dracula, the novel tells the story of Dracula's attempt to move from Transylvania to England so he may find new blood and spread the undead curse, and the battle between Dracula and a small group of men and women led by Professor Abraham Van Helsing.
Dracula has been assigned to many literary genres including vampire literature, horror fiction, the gothic novel and invasion literature. Although Stoker did not invent the vampire, he defined its modern form, and the novel has spawned numerous theatrical, film and television interpretations.

"Those who cannot find their own reflection in Bram Stoker's still-living creation are surely the undead ."
— New York Times Review of Books
"An exercise in masculine anxiety and nationalist paranoia, Stoker's novel is filled with scenes that are staggeringly lurid and perverse.... The one in Highgate cemetery, where Arthur and Van Helsing drive a stake through the writhing body of the vampirised Lucy Westenra, is my favourite."
— Sarah Waters, author of The Little Stranger
"It is splendid. No book since Mrs. Shelley's Frankenstein or indeed any other at all has come near yours in originality, or terror."
