Dracula | Bram Stoker

Jonathan Harker, travels to Transylvania to meet with an important client, the mysterious Count Dracula. Ignoring the dire warnings of local townsfolk, he allows himself to be seduced by the count’s courtly manners and erudite charm. Too late, Harker realizes that he is a prisoner of Castle Dracula. He is guarded by three very voluptuous young women with sharp white teeth and a taste for blood. Soon thereafter, the solicitor’s fiancee, Mina, visits a friend on the English coast. The town is full of speculation over a Russian ship run aground nearby, its crew missing, the dead body of its captain, crucifix in hand, lashed to the wheel. A giant dog was seen leaping from the deck before disappearing into the countryside. The ship’s cargo: fifty boxes of Transylvanian dirt. As the beautiful Mina will soon learn, Count Dracula has arrived! In the moonlight opposite me were three young women . . . I felt in my heart a wicked, burning desire that they would kiss me with those red lips.
