Dracula: A Brief Summary
The book is constituted by a few newspaper clippings, a series of rather tiresome letters, and a rather haunting journal entry. It is set mostly in the home of Count Dracula, a strange and disturbing castle in Transylvania.
The main character Jonathan Harker's purpose was to settle a real-estate deal for John Seward back in London, but he is inevitably drawn into bizarre and horrifying experiences within the walls of the castle. The action then spreads to England as the Count escapes there hidden in a wooden box identical to the others around it and, stowing away in a ship, bumps off the entire crew before vanishing into Whitby in the shape of a wolf.
Back on land, Lucy is vampirized by Dracula and dies despite the intervention of the absolute genius and very helpful Professor Van Helsing. Mina is in danger as well and has to be protected from Dracula’s advances. The adventure concludes with a thrilling and conclusive return to Transylvania.
