A full-color graphic novel adaptation of Bram Stoker’sDracula, pairing authentic text and dialogue with dramatic illustrations for classroom study and independent reading.
“I went down into the vaults. There lay the Count! He was either dead or asleep, I could not say which — for the eyes were open and stony but without the glassiness of death.”
The classic gothic horror story is presented in a totally engaging way through immensely powerful illustrations, while staying true to the original prose novel through the use of authentic text and dialogue.
This Original Text edition supports classroom study, independent reading, and guided discussion while preserving Stoker’s original language and gothic atmosphere.
This title has been moderately and sympathetically abridged from the original text to fit within the graphic novel format. Despite that, all of the events of the book are represented in every version — it’s only the speech and captions that change.
