DRACULA: UNABRIDGED ORIGINAL CLASSIC - LARGE PRINT 💀 scary.co

This book is printed in a 16 pt. large font for easier reading. Dracula is noted as the "most famous horror novel ever published." Author Bram Stoker sought inspiration for his novel by spending several years researching European folklore and mythological stories of vampires, visiting Slains Castle in Aberdeenshire, a visit to the crypts of St. Michan's Church in Dublin and the novella Carmilla by Sheridan Le Fanu. . It is believed that the story of Dracula emerged from dark stories of the Carpathian Mountains.Dracula is an epistolary novel, written as a collection of realistic, but completely fictional, diary entries, telegrams, letters, ship's logs, and newspaper clippings, all of which added a level of detailed realism to the story, a skill Stoker had developed as a newspaper writer. At the time of its publication, Dracula was considered a "straightforward horror novel" based on imaginary creations of supernatural life. "It gave form to a universal fantasy . . . and became a part of popular culture."According to the Encyclopedia of World Biography, Stoker's stories are today included in the categories of "horror fiction", "romanticized Gothic" stories, and "melodrama." They are classified alongside other "works of popular fiction" such as Mary Shelley'sFrankenstein, which, according to historian Jules Zanger, also used the "myth-making" and story-telling method of having "multiple narrators" telling the same tale from different perspectives. "'They can't all be lying,' thinks the reader."The original 541-page manuscript of Dracula was believed to have been lost until it was found in a barn in northwestern Pennsylvania in the early 1980s. It included the typed manuscript with many corrections, and handwritten on the title page was "THE UN-DEAD." The author's name was shown at the bottom as Bram Stoker. Author Robert Latham remarked: "the most famous horror novel ever published, its title changed at the last minute."Stoker's original research notes for the novel are kept by the Rosenbach Museum and Library in Philadelphia, PA.
