Dracula by Bram Stoker, was published in 1897.  Dracula became the most significant work of Gothic horror literature because it was the perfect vessel for the fears and desires of the era. As an evil intruder who disrupted innocent lives, Dracula personified all that was threatening, powerful, alluring, and evil. Dracula was often banned.  It contained many elements that were considered too shocking or in bad taste for the Victorian population. This included frank descriptions of blood, violence, and sexuality. Readers were disturbed by the portrayal of Dracula's three brides and Lucy after she is transformed into a vampire. If you are a collector of banned books, Dracula is a perfect addition for your library.
