The novel of the film. Based on the screenplay by James V. Hart from the Bram Stoker novel.
From the dank crypt of his forbiding castle in the forests of Transylvania to the bustling, foggy streets of Victorian London, Count Dracula comes to claim his victims...to feed the lustful hunger that has damned him to a life of lonely immortality...and to bind to him an innocent young woman—the miraculous double image of the love that he lost four centuries ago. Here is the extraordinary story of a creature possessed of an irresistible sexuality and a powerful evil as old as time itself. This unforgettable classic of darkly erotic horror is now a magnificent motion picture from Francis Ford Coppola, featuring an internationally celebrated cast. Here is the ultimate retelling of a story that has mesmerized readers for nearly a century.
