| Why it’s on the list | Stoker’s 1897 novel, told entirely through letters, diaries, telegrams and newspaper clippings, in which a solicitor, a doctor, a schoolmistress with a typewriter and a professor use railway timetables and blood transfusions against something older than all of them. The source text for the modern vampire, and a study of how a competent, technological society handles a threat it cannot at first admit exists. |

About this edition
Bram Stoker (1847–1912) was business manager of London’s Lyceum Theatre while he wrote it. It was one of several late-Victorian novels he published, and the only one still widely read.
