Graffex" is a new series of illustrated literary classics retold for young readers. Jonathan Harker travels to remote Transylvania to meet the mysterious Count Dracula, only to find that the Count is a bloodsucking monster capable of living for ever.

This classic horror story is presented as an exciting, fast-paced graphic novel which remains faithful to Bram Stoker's original text - unlike the many later film versions.Specially commissioned full-colour artwork brings excitement and atmosphere to this classic tale. Speech bubbles work with the main text to emphasise and enhance the retelling. A full-colour map allows readers to retrace the routes taken by Jonathan and the Count. An appendix describes the vampire legends of eastern Europe which inspired Stoker, and the real life Romanian prince on whom Dracula's character was partly based. There is a detailed timeline of important discoveries and inventions during Bram Stoker's lifetime, and of other novels and stories which helped to inspire him.There is background information on Bram Stoker's life and work, and a list of film and TV adaptations of "Dracula".

"Again basied review I'm not a fan of classic. With respect of course just in today's age it's not scary anymore. This story is pulled together from a group of characters dairies and notes. I wasn't a fan because you wasn't in the here and now. Also I just don't believe everyone would have had a dairy its just too coincidental. The story just plained out the entire time no highs no lows. There was no character building, no world building just a bunch of notes put together."
"My favorite classic horror novel of all time! "

"I started reading this because of the Dracula Daily emails, since it was free to sign up and hey, why not? But I Never expected to actually LOVE Dracula this much!!!!!!! I owe a lot of my affection for it to the emails, since they got sent to me in actual chronological order, and I know I wouldn't have liked it as much if I didn't read it in chronological order!!!!!!!!!! Either way, absolutely LOVED it!!!!!!!!!!!!"
"The storytelling through letters and journal entries was fascinating. I cared about all of the characters by the end. Much better than I had anticipated."

"This was painfully slow but worth it. The beginning I loved as it was very dark and gothic then the middle of the book was okay but only because of Lucy. Then afterwards near the ending it got super slow so the suspense died and I had difficulty finishing it. I found that many discussions just kept getting repeated throughout the book but just in different words. Very repetitive. I loved Lucy and Mina’s friendship though"
