Dracula (From Bestseller to Blockbuster 1)

From Bestseller to Blockbuster is a collection of books that triumphed both in the publishing world and on the big screen. This time, it's the turn of horror, a genre that has captivated both readers and moviegoers.

"There was nobody around, except a tall, thin man with a hooked nose and a pointed, graying beard. He had a hard, cold look and red eyes..."

Originally published in 1897, Dracula became a classic of Gothic horror. Its success on the page has been translated to the big screen on numerous occasions, with adaptations that have also become cult films, including F.W. Murnau's 1922 version, Tod Browning's 1931 version, and Francis Ford Coppola's 1992 version, to name a few. Jonathan Harker travels to Transylvania to finalize the sale of several London properties with a mysterious count. After a journey fraught with ominous signs, Harker is picked up by a sinister carriage that takes him, lulled by the howling of wolves, to a ruined castle.
