In Romania, Dracula is heralded as a national hero who sacrificed his life fighting for his country's independence, however, according to legend, his savage acts and Excommunication from the Church have doomed him to wander the world as one of the undead. Bram Stoker's "Dracula" was published in 1897.  It became the most significant work of Gothic horror because it was the perfect vessel for the fears and desires of the era. The story is about a vampire who tries to move to London so that he can begin feeding on the local population. The protagonists serve as vampire hunters and attempt to stop and destroy Dracula. The book was often banned because it contained many elements that were considered too shocking or in bad taste for the Victorian age.  If you are a collector of banned books, Dracula explores good versus evil, the consequences of sin, and the nature of proper love. It is a perfect addition to your library.
