Since its publication in 1897, Bram Stoker’s Dracula has been one of the most influential works of horror fiction in the Western canon, sharing a spot on the pedestal with Mary Shelley’s Frankenstein (1818). Dracula’s broad appeal stems in part from its ability to fit within several different literary subgenres. In addition to horror, it works well as Gothic romance, melodrama, invasion literature and, of course, vampire fiction. Stoker did not originate the themes that individually qualify Dracula for these categories, but he did combine them in a unique way, creating a work that continues to resonate more than one hundred years later.
