Dracula, by Bram Stoker – read by various volunteers
Bram Stoker’s Dracula (first published in 1897) is the definitive vampire novel, a chilling tale that has shaped our understanding of gothic horror for more than a century. Though Stoker did not invent the vampire myth, his story brought it to life with such vivid power that Count Dracula remains one of the most iconic figures in literature.
Told through diary entries, letters, and reports, the novel follows solicitor Jonathan Harker, who travels to Transylvania only to uncover the terrifying truth about his mysterious host, Count Dracula. As the Count sets his sights on England, a group of courageous men and women—including the resourceful Mina Murray, the devoted Jonathan, and the wise Professor Van Helsing—must unite to stop him.
Balancing themes of desire and virtue, tradition and modernity, Dracula continues to haunt readers and listeners alike.
