[News from the Boston Becks] Top 100 Novels #95: Dracula « News from the Boston Becks: For anyone who is familiar with any of the film versions, they will have the basic gist of the story.  The young solicitor, Jonathan Harker, travels to Transylvania to meet Count Dracula, who is purchasing property in London.  While at the Castle, he is attacked by a vampiric woman and saved by Dracula, only to be more frightened of his host and realize that he is trapped.  Dracula goes to London and becomes interested, first in Lucy Westenra, then, after her death, in her close friend (and Jonathan’s fiancee), Mina Murray.  Just before Lucy’s death, Dr. Seward, one of three men who loves her, calls his mentor, Abraham Van Helsing.  Van Helsing, though unable to prevent death, recognizes the vampire signs and after Lucy’s death they must destroy her as she rises again as a vampire.  Eventually, with Jonathan and Mina reunited and married and joining with Seward, Van Helsing and Lucy’s other two suitors, their trail leads to Dracula.  Pursuing him to his home (lead on by a telepathic connection to Mina, whom Dracula has bitten), they drive him from London and pursue him back to Transylvania.  There, in a final battle, Dracula is killed and Mina is freed from the vampiric curse.
