Epistolary novel, "Dracula" is the quintessential Gothic novel, the book on vampires that inspired the most people, the standard for black novel. Bram Stoker wrote other books, but his name is not generally associated with only one, for the good reason that it is the best. The superb style, the magnificent history make this novel a classic, reading by the fire during the long winter evenings when snow covers the landscape outside ... We almost hear the wolves howl.
