But few, if any, have been fully faithful to <B>Bram Stoker</B>'s original, best-selling novel of mystery and horror, love and death, sin and redemption. <I>Dracula</I> chronicles the vampire's journey from Transylvania to the nighttime streets of London. There, he searches for the blood of strong men and beautiful women while his enemies plot to rid the world of his frightful power.<BR><BR>Today's critics see <I>Dracula</I> as a virtual textbook on Victorian repression of the erotic and fear of female sexuality. In it, Stoker created a new word for terror, a new myth to feed our nightmares, and a character who will outlive us all.</DIV><DIV> </DIV><DIV><DIV><B>Brooke Allen</B></B> is a book critic whose work has appeared in numerous publications including The Atlantic Monthly, The New Criterion, The New York Times Book Review, The Wall Street Journal, and The Hudson Review.
