NYÖVERSÄTTNING
Jonathan Harker skickas av sin advokatfirma till ett slott i Transsylvanien, för att på plats hjälpa en klient, greve Dracula, med dennes önskemål om att bosätta sig i England. Lokalbefolkningen reagerar med vidskepelse och skräck när Harker berättar vart han är på väg. Innanför slottets murar finner Harker greven märklig. Dracula är blek, mager, och beter sig konstigt. När Harker rakar sig och det uppstår blodvite, gör greven ett plötsligt utfall mot Harkers hals. Strax efter denna incident blir Harker förförd av tre mordiska kvinnor, och han undkommer knappt med livet i behåll. Efter detta förstår Harker att kvinnorna, och greven, är vampyrer. Förbannade nattens varelser, som livnär sig på blod från människor. Harker lyckas ta sig från slottet och reser till England. Greve Dracula gör kort därefter samma resa.
Dracula av Bram Stoker (1847–1912) var det skräckromantiska gotiska mästerverk som gav vampyren, en mångtusenårig myt, den moderna aura av nattlig och förödande skönhet som vi idag känner igen. Den moderna kulturen är besatt av vampyrer, och denna mörka fascination har sin utgångspunkt i greve Dracula. Romanens utforskande av skräck, myt och sexualitet har utövat en sällsam lockelse på generationer av läsare, och forsätter att göra det än idag.
I ny svensk översättning av Erik Thompson.

Jonathan Harker skickas av sin advokatfirma till Transsylvanien för att bistå en ny klient, greve Dracula, som önskar bosätta sig i England. När Harker närmar sig destinationen varnas han av främlingar för att resa till grevens borg. Snart kommer han att förstå varför.Bram Stokers Dracula är en av skräcklitteraturens största klassiker, boken bakom den moderna myten om vampyren. Här i svensk översättning av Sam J. Lundwall.ABRAHAM »BRAM« STOKER [1847-1912] var en irländsk författare, i dag helt och hållet förknippad med den gotiska skräckromanen Dracula [1897]. Stoker använde sig av den flertusenåriga myten om vampyren, men gav gestalten den mörkt romantiska aura som den haft sedan dess - för att inte tala om det odödliga namnet, greve Dracula. Romanens inflytande är omätligt, i stort sett alla vampyrhistorier, i romaner, filmer, dramer, bär drag av Stokers Dracula.

En unik och gåtfull version av Bram Stokers Dracula, publicerad i Sverige 1899 och bortglömd tills nyligen. Mörkrets makter är en tidig antifascistisk roman som kritiserar dåtidens pseudovetenskapliga rasism och varnar för kommande storkrig. Det är också en utmärkt gotisk skräckroman dubbelt så lång som Stokers original, med mängder av scener, karaktärer och handlingstrådar som inte förekommer i Dracula.
Greve Draculitz (som han kallas i boken) har för avsikt att sprida vampyrsläktet över världen och konspirerar med kungligheter och politiker för att skapa en ny världsordning där vampyrerna ska bli den nya härskande rasen -- de betraktar sig själva som nästa steg i mänsklighetens utveckling. Och i grevens slott vandrar den "vita damen", en underbart vacker kvinna som ständigt söker locka den unge advokaten Thomas Harker i fördärvet med sina "kyssar". Förutom inslagen av politisk satir och internationella konspirationer är Mörkrets makter betydligt mer våldsam och erotisk än Stokers original.
Mycket lite är känt om dess bakgrund. Varför skrevs den? Vem var signaturen A--e? Mycket tyder på att Bram Stoker själv hade något att göra med skapandet av denna version av Dracula, men stämmer det?
Både fans av klassiska Dracula och nya läsare har här en annorlunda berättelse att fördjupa sig i, med ett helt nytt slut. Den presenteras av författaren och förläggaren som upptäckte romanen, Rickard Berghorn, och en ledande expert på gotisk litteratur, professor Clive Bloom från England. Ytterligare ett förord har skrivits av den svenska Dracula-experten professor Ingmar Söhrman. Här finns också samtliga originalillustrationer av Emil Åberg.

Though Stoker did not invent vampires - and in fact based his character's life-in-death on extensive research into European folklore - his novel elevated the nocturnal monster to iconic stature, spawning a genre of stories and movies which flourishes to this day. A century of imitation has done nothing to diminish its power. As the suave and chilling Count stalks his prey from a crumbling castle in the Carpathians to a lunatic asylum in Purfleet and the bedrooms of his swooning female victims, the drama builds to a fever pitch of sensuality and suspense.Dracula is not only a classic of Gothic horror and a wellspring of modern mythology: it is also irresistible entertainment.

Discover the story of Bram Stoker's Dracula with this exquisite edition from Union Square & Co.’s Signature Gilded Editions series! The stunning Dracula special edition features sprayed edges, color end pages, a built-in ribbon bookmark, and embossed foil cover. The beautiful design and attention to detail set this special edition book apart, whether you’re reading for the first time or building a library of your favorite classic literature books. As fledgling English lawyer Jonathan Harker treks into the Carpathian Mountains to complete a real estate transaction, frightened peasants warn him of horrible dangers that await him. Harker, terrified by eerie events along the way, finally meets his client, Count Dracula, a tall, gaunt old man with a surprisingly powerful handshake. Harker soon realizes that he is a prisoner in Dracula's sumptuously furnished castle—a castle strangely devoid of mirrors. Later, as fifty coffin-sized boxes are brought into the castle in preparation for Dracula's departure, Harker knows that the count plans to do more in London than see the sights—and he fears that the rational modern world is ill-equipped to recognize, let alone defeat, the count. First published in 1897, Dracula by Bram Stoker has become a seminal work in the genre of Gothic horror and the foundation of modern vampire mythology. The novel is set largely in England and Transylvania, weaving a chilling narrative through the experiences of its characters as they encounter Count Dracula, whose ambitions to spread his undead curse create a battle for survival. Stoker's novel explores themes of superstition versus science, modernity confronting ancient evils, and the complex interplay of sexuality, fear, and power. The character of Dracula embodies the timeless fear of the unknown and the other, making the novel a profound commentary on the anxieties of Stoker’s time—fears of societal infiltration and moral decay. Dracula resonates with contemporary audiences for its deep psychological undercurrents and as a critique of invasion and cultural contamination. The enduring legacy of Dracula in popular culture is seen in the myriad adaptations and the continued fascination with vampire lore, reflecting ongoing debates about otherness and identity in today’s globalized world.

'There he lay looking as if youth had been half-renewed, for the white hair and moustache were changed to dark iron-grey, the cheeks were fuller, and the white skin seemed ruby-red underneath; the mouth was redder than ever, for on the lips were gouts of fresh blood, which trickled from the corners of the mouth and ran over the chin and neck. Even the deep, burning eyes seemed set amongst the swollen flesh, for the lids and pouches underneath were bloated. It seemed as if the whole awful creature were simply gorged with blood; he lay like a filthy leech, exhausted with his repletion.'Thus Bram Stoker, one of the greatest exponents of the supernatural narrative, describes the demonic subject of his chilling masterpiece Dracula, a truly iconic and unsettling tale of vampirism.
