This edition is fun, but the editor approaches the entire book with the conceit that Dracula is a true story and that Bram Stoker was only an editor who changed details to hide the truth of the monster. At no point does the editor acknowledge the conceit, so that throughout, he makes constant references to the real story.

Bram Stoker’s Dracula is both a compelling story and a microcosm of Victorian fixations, hangups, obsessions, anxieties. Dracula has stalked the imagination of both literary and popular culture since its publication in 1897, as attested by its enduring popularity and the scores of adaptations that have been made since. Come read this novel with me, and discover both what is so seductive and what is so repulsive about Dracula.
