Count Dracula
M
y story begins about seven years ago, in 1875. My
name is J onathan Harker, and 1live and work in
London. My job is to buy and sell houses for other people.
One day a letter arrived for me frorn a very rich man who
lived in Transylvania. He wanted to buy a house in England
and he needed my help. The man was Count Dracula, and 1
agreed to help him.
1found a house for him, and he asked me to take all the
papers for it to Transylvania. 1was not very pleased about
this. 1was planning to get married in the autumn, and 1did
not waur to leave my bcautiful Mina.
'But you must go, J onathan,' she said. 'The Count is rich,
and perhaps he will give you more work later.'
So 1agreed to go. 1did not know rhen of the terrible danger
which waited for me in Transylvania.
And so, on 4th May 1arrived at a lirtletown called Bistritz.
Tr'lIlsylvania wus a srr.uigc and hcauriful country. T1H:rc wcrc
mountains, trees and rivers everywhere. And somewhere high
in the mountains was the Count's home, Cast1e Dracula.l had
six hours to wait before rhe coach carne to take me there, so 1
wcnr inro a link hotel. Insidc rhc hotel it wus warm and
friendly. The people there were all laughing and talking.
'Where are you going?' they asked me.

Slowly, the big wooden door opened .
1went into the castle and the Count carefully locked the
door bchind me. He put rhc kcy into his pockct and turned to
go upstairs. 1Eollowed him, and we came to a room where a
wood fire burned brightly. In front of it there was a little table
with food and drink 011 it. The COUl1t asked me to sit down
and eat, but he did not eat with me. Later, we sat and talked
by the fire. His English was very good, and while we talked, 1
had time to look at him carefully. His face was very white, his
ears were like the ears of a cat, and his teeth were strong like
the teeth of an animal. There was hair on his hands and his
fingers were very long. When he touched me, 1was afraid.
It was nearly morning when 1went to bed, and outside, the
wolves were still howling.
Thc ncxr morning I found my hrcakfnsr on thc lirrlc rabie in
front of the fire. Now that it was light, 1could see that Castle
Dracula was old and dirty. 1saw no servants all that day.
The Count did not come to brcakfasr, but there was alettcr
from him on the table.
'Co .inywhcrc in rhc custlc,' ir said, "bur somc of rhc rooms
are lockcd. Do not try to go into thcsc rooms.'
When the Count came back in the evening, he wanted to
know all nhour his ncw house in Eugland.
'Well,' 1began, 'it's a very big house, old and dark, with a
high wall all round it. There are trees everywhere. That's why
the houseis dark. It has a lirtle church too.' And 1showed him
some pictures oE ir.
He was pleased about the church. 'Ah,' he said, 'so 1shall

was no danger during the day. The next morning 1decided to
visit rhe Counr's room to see whar 1could find. To do this 1
had to gct into it by the window. This was possible because
his room was just below my bedroom, and there were little
holes in rhc wal! bctween rhe stones. 1could put my feet in
these, and 1could use the heavy curtains from my window to
hold onro. It was dangcrous, but 1had to try.
Slowly 1moved down the wal!. Once or twice 1almost fel!,
but at last 1found myself in the Count's bedroom.
Thc room was cmpry. Thc Count was not rhcrc, 1lookcd
for the castle keys, but 1could not find thern. Over in one comer
of the room thcre was sorne gold, and on rhe other side of rhe
1'00111 thcrc w.is a big woodcn door. It was open and 1saw rhat
thcre wcrc soruc srairs going down. 1went down rhern, and 1
carne to anothcr door. This was open too, and 1found myself
in a room with a stone fIoor. Slow1y, 1looked around me. There
were about fifty wooden boxes in theroom. They were coffins,
and rhey were fuI! of earth. In one of thern lay rhe Count! 1
could not say if he was dead or asleep. His eyes were open and
looked cold and srony , but his facc did not look like the facc
of adead mano His lips were still very red, but he did not move.
Slowly 1went nearer. 1thought perhaps that he had the castle
keys on him. But when 1looked at those eold, stony eyes, my
blood r.ui culd. Afruid, 1turncd and ruu back to thc window.
1did not stop to think until 1was baek in my room.

Morning came at last, and 1was still alive. '1 must escape,' 1
thought. But first 1had to get the keys.
Once again, 1went down the wall <111d inro the Counr's room.
1ran down the stairs, to the room with the eoffins.
The Count was there, in his coffin, but he looked younger
and his hair was no longer white. There was blood on his
rnouth, which ran down across his neck. My hands were
shaking, but 1had to touch him, ro look for the keys. 1felt all
over his body, but they weren't there. Suddenly 1wanted to
kill C~)unt Dracula. I took a workman's harnmcr , and began
to bring it down hard on to that horrible, smiling face. But
just then the head turned and the COl111t'Sburning eyes looked
at me. His bloody mouth srnilcd more horribly than cvcr. I
dropped the hammer and stood there, shaking. What could 1
do now?
J ust then 1 heard the sound of voices. The workmen were
coming back. 1hurried back up the stairs to the Count's room.

not write to me often, and when he did, his letters

But again it was a short, strange letter. 'Perhaps he's ill. ' 1
thought.
Myfriend, Lucy, also wrote to me. '1know that you will be

And it would help me not to think about J onathan all the time.
Lucymet me atthe station, and it was wonderful to see her

much. '

But sometimes it was hard for me, because when Lucy
talked of Arthur, I thought of J onathan again.
The weather was good and Lucy and I walked a lot,
sometimes bythe sea, but we often went upto the old church
on the hill.
At night, Lucy and I slept in one room, but sometimes she
walked in her sleep. She began to sleep badly, and her mother
and I decided to lock the bedroom door at night.
Then one day the weather changed. The skywas black and
heavy, and that night there was a terrible storm. Lucy was
very excited by it, and she sat by the window all night and
watched the sea.
The next morning there was aship on the beach.
'Its a Russian ship, from Varna on the Black Sea: Lucv's
servant told us. 'There are coffins on it, and they're full of
earth. And abig black dog jumped off the ship and ran upthe
hill!'
'And is everyone on the ship alive?' Lucy asked.
'That's the strange thing about it.' the servant replied.
'There was no one on the ship, either dead or alive.'
Everybody in the town was very excited by this strange
ship, but there were no answers to the mystery. And nobody
sawthe big black dog again.
That night I woke upandfound that the bedroom door was
open and l.ucv was not there. I looked for her everywhere in
the house, but I could not find her. 'I'rn afraid for her, I don't
know whv.' I said to her mother.
I knewthat l.ucv sometimes likedto go and sit quietly inthe
churchyard, so I hurried out into the night to look for her. And
I found her. She was sitting in the churchyard, white in the
moonlight, and I thought I saw something dark behind her-
something dark and horrible. Slowly, its head moved nearer
to Lucy. Afraid, I called out, 'Lucy! Lucy!' A white face and
burning red eyes looked up at me - and then, nothing! Lucy
was alone, asleep inthe moonlight. I woke her, and she gave a
little cry. She put her hands to her neck, and I saw that there
were two little drops of blood there.

After that night Lucy was worse. She left her bed every
night and her lovely face was white. I was afraid for her and
locked the door at night. And I still did not hear from
J onathan. I was unhappy and did not sleep well myself, so
one night I went for a walk alone. 'Lucy will be all right,' I
thought. 'The door is locked. Shecan't get out, and no one can
get in.' But when I came back, I found Lucy by the open
window. 'Lucy!' I cried. But she did not reply. Shewas asleep,
and near her, just outside the open window, there was
something black, like abig bird.
A day or two later, I had a letter. J onathan was ill and in
hospital in Budapest. 'Of course, I must go to him
immediately,' I said to Lucy. I did not want to leave her, but
J onathan was everything to me. 'He needs me,' I said.
And when at last I arrived in Budapest and held J onathan in
my arms, I felt happy. J onathan was very ill but he was
getting better every day. Hedid not want to talk about his time
in Castle Dracula, but he gave me his diary to read. And so I
learnt about Count Dracula and J onathan's terrible adventure
in the castle. But he escaped! And when he fell ill in the
mountains, some workmen found him and took him to the
hospital. Poor J onathan! His face was white and thin, and he
was still very afraid, but now we were together again and
everything was all right.
J onathan and I were married on September 1st, and then
we began our journey home. We arrived back in England on
September 18th, and it was wonderful to be home again.
Everyone looked happy onthat warm autumn evening, when

we drove through the streets of London. J onathan smiled and
said softly, 'Oh Mina, I love you.'
'1love you, too, J onathan,' I replied. I was truly happy.
And then, suddenly, J onathan's face went white, and he
cried out. He was looking at a carriage, outside a shop. In it
there was a pretty qirl with dark hair. She was waiting for
someone. And near the carriage, watching the pretty girl,
there was aman - atall, thin man, with long white teeth and a
very red mouth. 'lt's the Count!' J onathan cried. 'Here in
London!'
'1t'5 the Count!' [onathan cried. 'Here in London!'

J onathan put his headin his hands andsaid nothing forthe
rest of the journey. I was very afraid for him. Was it really true
- that this horrible Count Dracula was here in London?
When we arrived home, there was a letter from Arthur
Holmwood. Lucy was dead! My dearest Lucy, dead! It could
not betrue!
Later we readthe letter again.
'Soon after you left.' Arthur wrote, 'Lucy began to get
worse. I did not know what to do. I knew only that I must do
something quickly, so I asked our old friend, J ack Seward, to
come andseeher. "He's adoctor:' I thought. "Perhaps hecan
do something to help Lucy." Hecame at once, but in the end
nobody could help poor Lucy, and she died yesterday.'
blood. But how? Was itthrough these two little wounds in her
neck?
I decided to send for my old teacher Professor Van Helsing
from Holland. Perhaps hecould help.
Hecame immediately, and when he saw how ill Lucy was,
hesaid, 'We must give her blood at once.'
'She can have my blood!' cried Arthur. 'AII of it - to the last
drop!'
Van Helsing was right. With Arthur's blood in her, Lucy
began to get better immediately. But before he Ieft, Van
Helsing did one more thing. Hebrought some flowers with a
very strong smell, and he put a circle of them round Lucy's
neck. 'My dear,' hesaid, 'these are garlic flowers. Do not take
them from your necktonight, and do not open your window.'
Van Helsing had to return to Holland for a few days and
before he left. hetold us: 'You must watch Lucy every niqht,
and besure that she wears the garlic flowers.'
Lucv's mother was ill herself - her heart was not strong -
and Arthur had to go back home because his father was
dying. Sofor aweek I watched over Lucy myself at night, and
sometimes, when I sat by her bed, I heard strange noises at
the window. Perhaps it was atree, or the wind, I thought.
I was working at my hospital during the day, and after a
week I was very tired, so one night I did not go to Lucy's
house. I needed to sleep, and I knew that Lucy's mother and
the servants were there. Also, Van Helsing sent new garlic
flowers every day, for Lucy to wear at night.
The next morning at the hospital I had a note from Van

round to the back of the house and Van Helsing broke the
kitchen window and we went in.
Itwas dark inthe kitchen, but we could seethe bodies ofthe
four servants on the floor. They were not dead, but asleep.
'Someone put something in their drinks.' said Van Helsing.
'Come! We must find Lucy. If we are not too late!'
We ran up to Lucy's room, and stopped outside it. With
white faces andshaking hands, we opened the door softly and
went into the room.
How can I describe what we saw? The bodies of two
women - Lucy and her mother - lay on the bed. The faces of
both women were white, and onthe mother's facethere was a
look of terrible fear. In her hand she heId the flowers from
Lucy's neck, and onthe floor there was glass from the broken
window.
Van Helsing looked down at the two women. 'The poor
mother is dead,' hesaid. 'But for Lucy it is not too late! Goand
wake the servants!'
I ran downstairs to wake them. 'Put her in a hot bath.' Van
Helsing said.
After atime, Lucy began to show some life, and they took
her and put her in awarm bed. Fromtime to time she slept,
but she did not fight to stay alive. She could not eat anything,
and she was very weak. We sent for Arthur, and when he
came, hewas very unhappy. Hisfather was now dead, and he
could seethat Lucy was very, very ill. One of us sat with Lucy
all the time, andthat night Arthur and Van Helsing slept inthe
sitting-room, while I watched over Lucy.

When Van Helsing came back up to me at six oclock.
Arthur was still asleep downstairs. Van Helsing went over to
Lucy and looked at her. 'The wounds on her neck have gone,'
hesaid. 'She will soon be dead. Bring Arthur.'
When Arthur and I came back, Lucy opened her lovely eyes.
'Oh, Arthur.' she said softly. 'Kiss me, my love.'
He moved his head nearer to her, but Van Helsing pulled
him back. 'No!' he cried. For a minute, Lucy's face was hard
and angry. She opened her mouth, and her teeth looked very

long and sharp. Then her eyes closed and she slept. Soon she
woke again, took Van Helsing's hand and said softly, 'My true
friend.' And then, quietly, Lucy died.
'She's gone,' said Van Helsing, and Arthur put his head in
his hands and cried.
Later, I went back into Lucy's room, and Van Helsing and I
looked down together at her beautiful face.
'Peor girl,' I said. 'lt is the end.'
'No,' he replied. 'This is only the beginning.'
Some days later there were strange stories in the
newspapers, stories about young children who went out at
night and did not go home until the next morning. And when
they did go home, they talked about a 'beautiful lady'. AII
these children had drops of blood and two little wounds on
their necks.
Van Helsing read these stories, and he brought the paper
round to me. 'What do you think of that?' he asked.
'1don't know,' I said. 'These two little wounds sound like
poor Lucy's wounds, but how can that be?'
Then Van Helsing explained. At first I could not believe it,
and we talked for a long time. At last I said, 'Are you saving
that poor Lucy was killed by a vampire, and that now the
vampire is taking blood from these children too?'
'No,' Van Helsing replied. 'You haven't understood. The
vampire which is taking blood from these children is ... Lucy
herself.'
I was very angry. 'That's not true!' I cried.

'Then come with me,' he said. 'And I will show vou.'
So that night he took me to Lucy's tomb. He had the key
and we went inside. I was very afraid. In the dark, with the
dead flowers Iying on Lucy's coffin, the tomb was a terrible
place. Slowly, Van Helsing began to open the coffin, Then he
turnad to me, and said, 'Look.'
I came nearer and looked. The coffin was empty.
For me, it was a terrible surprise, but Van Helsing only
shook his head. 'Now we must wait outside,' he said.
We waited all night. I was cold and afraid, and angry with
myself and with Van Helsing. Then, suddenly, something
white moved inthe trees near the tomb. We went nearer, and
we found a little child on the ground, by the tomb. Van
Helsing held it out to me, and Ilooked at its neck. 'There are no
wounds on the child's neck,' I said.
'No,' Van Helsing replied. 'We are just intime.'
The next day, Van Helsing and I went back into the tomb
again and opened the lid of the coffin. This time Lucy's body
lay there. She died more than a week ago - but she did not
look dead. Her mouth was red and her face was more
beautiful than ever. Then Van Helsing pulled back her mouth
and showed me her long, sharp teeth.
'Now do you believe me?' he said. 'Lucy is now one of the
Un-Dead, and with these teeth she will soon kill one of these
poor little children. We must stop her before she does.' He
stopped for a minute and thought. 'But we must send for
Arthur. He, toa, must see- and believe this.'
Arthur was very unhappy, and also angry. He could not

believe that Lucy was now one of the Un-Dead, but inthe end
he agreedto come with us to the tomb.
Itwas just before midnight when we got to the churchyard.
The night was dark, but now andthen, alittle moonlight came
through the clouds. Van Helsing opened the door of the tomb
and we all went in.
'Now, .J ack,' he said to me, 'vou were with me yesterday
afternoon. Was Miss Lucy's body inthat coffin then?'
'It was.' I replied.
Slowly, Van Helsing opened the coffin. Arthur's face was
white when he moved nearer. We all looked down. The coffin
was empty!
For a minute, no one spoke. Then Van Helsing said, 'Now
we must go outside and wait.'
Slowly, Van Helsing opened the coffin.

Itwas good to beoutside again, away from the dark, smelly
tomb. We stood and waited in silence. Then, through the
trees, we saw something white. Itwas moving nearer to us. Its
face was white, its mouth was red, and drops of blood fell
from it. Suddenly it saw us and stopped. It gave us a look of
terrible anger, and Arthur gave a little cry. 'lt's Lucy!'
She smiled. 'Oh, Arthur, come to me. Leave those others,
and come to me, my lave,' she said sweetly.
Arthur took his hands from his face and opened his arms to
her. She was moving nearer to him when Van Helsing ran
between them. and held out his little gold cross. Lucy stopped
and stood back from it. Then, with a look of terrible anger on
her face, she went to the tomb and through the door. The door
was closed, but she went through it!
'Now, Arthur, my friend,' Van Helsing said, 'do you
understand?'
Arthur put his face in his hands and cried, '1do! Oh, 1do!'
The next day, Arthur, Van Helsing, and I went back to the
tomb. Van Helsing had a bag with him, and when we were in
the tomb, he again opened Lucy's coffin. The body lay there,
horribly beautiful. Arthur was white and he was shaking. 'ls
this really Lucy?' he asked.
'lt is, and it is not. But wait, and you will see the real Lucy
again,' Van Helsing replied.
Hetook from his bag a long piece of wood and a hammer.
Arthur and I stood silent and watched. Then Van Helsing said
to Arthur, 'You loved Lucy. You must bring her backto us. You
must take this piece of wood in your left hand, and the

hammer in your right hand. Then you must drive the wood
through Lucy's heart. It isn't easy for you, but it will soon be
done. Canyou do this for her?'
'1can,' Arthur replied strongly.
His face was very pale, but he held the piece of wood over
Lucy's heart, and brought the hammer down hard.

The body turned from side to side and a horrible scream
came from the open red mouth. Arthur did not stop. Harder
and harder he hit the wood with the hammer, until, at last, the
body stopped moving and lay quieto
The hammer fell from Arthur's hand, and he stood there,
white and shaking. Van Helsing went over to him. 'And now
you may kiss her.' he said. 'See! The vampire is dead, and the
real Lucy has come back.'
It was true. Lucv's face was pale and still, but it was now
quiet and restful. Arthur kissed her softly on the mouth, and
