Dracula

The main creation of Bram Stoker, an aristocratic vampire, became the standard for subsequent works, causing a mass fascination with the "vampire" myth and receiving widespread embodiment – from literature to anime and video games. "...I read 'The Vampire – Count Dracula'. I read it for two nights and was desperately afraid. Then I realized the depth of it, regardless of its literary nature, etc. ... This is a remarkable and inexhaustible thing, I thank you for finally making me read it." A. A. Blok in a letter to E. P. Ivanov dated September 3, 1908.
