Really good chapter on Dracula, but it's a bit hard to feel enthusiastic about any of Stoker's other books :(

This study of Bram Stoker focuses on Stoker as a Gothic writer. Identified with Dracula, Stoker is largely responsible for taking the Gothic away from medieval castles and placing it at the centre of modern life. This book examines Stoker's contribution to the modern notion of Gothic.
