When Jonathan Harker visits Transylvania to help Count Dracula with the purchase of a London house, he makes a series of horrific discoveries about his client. Soon after wards, various bizarre incidents unfold in England: an apparently unmanned ship is wrecked off the coast of Whitby; a young woman discovers strange puncture marks on her neck; and the inmate of a lunatic asylum raves about the 'Master' and his imminent arrival.
In Dracula, Bram Stoker created one of the great masterpieces of the horror genre, brilliantly evoking a nightmare world of vampires and vampire hunters and also illuminating the dark corners of Victorian sexuality and desire.
Dracula is the most famous of all tales of vampirism and an enduring classic.
The audio here was recorded in 1966 to accompany a graphic novel of Bram Stoker's "Dracula". Since Dracula is made up of a series of letters, journal and diary entries, the writers of the adaptation took a more straightforward route of telling the tale while maintaining the episodic.
Rather than the voice of Count Dracula, Lee reads as the novel’s epistolary narrator Jonathan Harker. Lee’s voice is enough to conjure his many exceptional performances as the prototypical vampire, a character and concept that will likely never die.
