Dracula

Jonathan Harker is sent by his employer to Transylvania to conclude some house-purchasing business with a foreign nobleman. Dracula the count seemed like an ideal host: welcoming, hospitable, and genuinely interested in everything his guest can tell him about England.


However, this count never eats, drinks, or appears by daylight; he has neither mirrors nor servants; he delivers strange warnings and has a peculiar reaction to the sight of blood....


Soon Jonathan realises that he’s literally imprisoned in a nightmare from which his only escape could well be death - if not at the hands (or teeth) of Dracula, then at those of the castle’s other residents..


In Whitby, Mina Murray is becoming increasingly worried. Her fiancé is missing somewhere in Eastern Europe, and her friend Lucy Westenra is behaving oddly. She has become vaguely anxious and has resumed her childhood habit of sleepwalking. Things get worse after a violent storm and the accompanying arrival of a Russian ship occupied only by a large dog and a dead captain. The dog disappears, and soon so does Lucy, whom Mina discovers in the churchyard across the bay with a tall dark figure bending over her.... After this latest sleepwalking misadventure, Lucy goes into a decline. she has become vaguely anxious and has resumed her childhood habit of sleepwalking.

Mina went to Van Helsing and the real battle began. ( Due the story being too complicated, I might have interpreted certain parts wrongly.)


This story is extremely hard to read as it has got a lot a lot of point of views and I got muddled halfway through. And I do not really get how Jonathan escaped in the end.
