Synopsis "Dracula the Graphic Novel: Quick Text (Classical Comics)"

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, presented in a totally engaging way through the immensley powerful illustrations. Staying true to the events of the original prose novel, this Quick Text edition features simplified and reduced dialogue to help reluctant readers and ELL students to engage with the text. Designed to encourage readers to enjoy classical literature, titles in the Classical Comics range stay true to the original vision of the authors. They also offer alternative text versions to cater for different readership levels. 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! Like all of their titles, this Classical Comics production remains true to the original novel, and features incredible artwork that will engage any reader.

Abraham "Bram" Stoker (Clontarf; 8 de noviembre de 1847-Londres; 20 de abril de 1912) fue un novelista y escritor irlandés, conocido por su novela Drácula.

Sus primeros relatos de terror, como "La Copa de Cristal" (1872), fueron publicados por la London Society, y The Chain of Destiny en la revista Shamrock. En 1876, mientras trabajaba como funcionario, escribió un libro de texto nombrado The Duties of Clerks of Petty Sessions in Ireland (1879), este libro se utilizó como referencia durante mucho tiempo.

Siendo crítico del teatro para el Dublin Evening Mail, cuyo copropietario era el célebre escritor de novela gótica Sheridan Le Fanu, uno de los más importantes de su época por relatos como el de Carmilla, sobre una vampiresa, influyeron mucho a Stoker a la hora de escribir Drácula. La crítica de Stoker hacia la obra fue una gran alabanza a la actuación en Hamlet del actor Henry Irving, quien le contrató para ser su secretario particular y gerente del Lyceum Theatre de Londres.

Mientras trabajaba para Irving, fue crítico literario para el Daily Telegraph y escribió varias novelas como The Snake's Pass (1890) y Dracula (1897) y, tras la muerte de Irving en 1905, La dama del sudario (1909) y La guarida del gusano blanco (1911).

Su esposa fue la administradora de su legado literario, y dio a conocer obras como la que sería la introducción de Drácula, el relato corto El invitado de Drácula.
