Dacre Stoker e J. D. Barker - Dracul

FOR ALL WHO KNOW THAT MONSTERS ARE REAL… 1868.
Knocks on the door. Increasingly loud and intense. Barricaded atop an abandoned tower, Bram Stoker prays that the defenses will hold and prepares for the worst. He hangs crucifixes and mirrors on the walls, loads his rifle, and waits. Fearing he will not survive that long night, he decides to record all the horrors that led him there, to the confrontation with death... The story begins in his childhood. Bram, at age 5, is a sickly child, confined to bed, his only companions being his sister Matilda and his young nanny Ellen Crone, the only person who can alleviate his illness.

However, there is something that disturbs him about Ellen—perhaps it is her bizarre behavior, her pale skin, or the way she seems not to age. Initially, it's just an intuition, but later, Bram and Matilda discover that Ellen frequently disappears in the dead of night. When this happens, inexplicable deaths occur in Dublin, corpses discovered without a drop of blood. Bram and Matilda's suspicions grow each day until, without warning, Ellen Crone vanishes, leaving them without answers.

Fifteen years later, obsessed with Ellen Crone's ghost, Bram joins his sister to find their former nanny. Unbeknownst to him, their path will cross with that of a creature as terrifying as it is fascinating… and malevolent. An encounter that will later give rise to a romance destined to become legend.

MUCH MORE THAN A RETOLD DRACULA… THIS IS THE TRUE STORY THAT HAS WAITED CENTURIES TO SEE THE LIGHT OF DAY.
