This is a gothic science-fiction story, written in 1818, by Mary Shelley when she was only 18 years old. The novel portrays a crazy scientist, Victor Frankenstein, that takes on the role of God by creating a new life from the dead that turns into a monster. Did Victor Frankenstein fail as an inventor? Did the society’s rejection and isolation turn the creation into a monster? It is a timeless Gothic horror tale written in 1897 that suggests a struggle between modernity and science with religion and superstition. The story is that of a Transylvanian vampire who, using supernatural powers, makes his way to England, and there he victimizes innocent people to gain the blood on which he survives. Led by Dr. Abraham Van Helsing—an expert on "obscure diseases"—a small group of men and a woman are at last able to overpower and destroy Dracula. The story is told in epistolary format, as a series of letters, diary entries, newspaper articles, and ships' log entries whose narrators are the novel's protagonists and occasionally supplemented with newspaper clippings relating events not directly witnessed. Dracula has inspired the creation of numerous theatrical, literary, and film adaptations—among them are the 1931 film Dracula and the 1922 film Nosferatu, starring actors that propelled the vampire myth to the forefront of popular culture.
