Bram Stoker's Dracula
Illustrated by Gary Blythe
Bram Stoker’s gothic classic, newly abridged for the readers of today.
The story of the notorious vampire Count Dracula, lord of the undead, has been abridged here for younger readers. A lunatic asylum, a bleak Transylvanian castle, an ancient cemetery ... these are the dark backgrounds to the even darker deeds portrayed in this bloodcurdling tale.
- "Not a book for the faint-hearted! ... The greatest ever vampire story," Junior Education.
- Capturing the gothic terror in dramatic illustrations, this re-edited version makes a classic tale accessible to a younger audience.
