Dracula (Paperback: 352 pages)

Enhanced Muze Note

...it is splendid. A thousand miles beyond anything you have written before, and I feel certain will place you very high in the writers of the day--the story and style being deeply sensational, exciting and interesting. No book since Mrs. Shelley's 'Frankenstein' or indeed any other at all has come near yours in originality or terror--Poe is nowhere. I have read much but I never met a book like it at all. In its terrible excitement it should make a widespread reputation and much money for you.

Enhanced Muze Note

It is a story of a vampire, the old medieval vampire but recrudescent today...the book is necessarily full of horrors and terrors but I trust that these are calculated to cleanse the mind by pity and terror. At any rate there is nothing base in the book, and though superstition is fought with the weapons of superstition, I hope it is not irreverent.
