Really the book it self is haunted. I was just 12 of age when I read this novel - Dracula. It contained more than 350 pages and I just read it in two hour. I was so lean in story that I had to read it completly.
Dracula is an intresting novel written by Bram Stoker. The story makes you feel complete horror movie going on. I read 3 to 4 reveiews on this topic, they have done the best but I will let you know other things about this novel. During the reserch of the novel author Bram Stoker learned that the word "Dracula" comes from the Romanian word for "Devil" or "Dragan". The story goes like this, a young English amn named Jonnathan Harker travels through Transylvania for business trip. He is their for a deal with Count Dracula, a nobleman, buying an English estate. There he experiences that he prisoner in Draculas Castle and that Dracula is Demonic. He tries to escape from their and Dracula come to know. Then Dracula handles him to the three female vampire who were the gypsies of Dracula but somehow he escapes and disappears. Mean while in London Jonathans Fiancee Mina visits her best friend Lucy. Lucy was recently proposed by three mens Dr.Seward, Arthhur and Quiency Morris. She chooses Arthur to be her Finacee. A tragedy is witnessed by both. Night after night the strange event were taking place.
After some days word comes from Budapest that Jonathan was found sick with brain fewer. He was unable to remember what happened in his journey. Mina takes Jonathan back to London and married her. Jonathan gives her a dairy and takes a promise from her that she never read it.
Lucy was getting thiner and thiner. Arthur was afraid and called Dr.Seward to take care of her. Seward was unable to understand the illness of Lucy and thus he calls Professor Van Helsing. And hence Mina dies. Mystirous attck on childrens were taking place in England. Van Helsing showed Dr.Seward, Arthur, Mina and Quiency that the cause is the Undead Lucy. All of them decide to destroy Dracula for the sake of good and thus the trail begans and they succeed.
Now lets talk about the person who wrote this strange story Bram Stoker.
