About this work

Dracula is a public-domain work, here read aloud in a faithful professional narration (no recording of Bram Stoker's own voice survives).

Who was Bram Stoker?

Bram Stoker (1847–1912) spent his working life managing London's Lyceum Theatre for the actor Henry Irving, writing novels in the margins of that consuming job. Dracula, assembled from journals, letters and newspaper clippings, gave the vampire its modern form and outlived everything else he wrote.
