Dracula is one of the most famous public-domain horror novels in existence, responsible not just for introducing the eponymous Count Dracula, but for introducing many of the common tropes we see in modern horror fiction.Count Dracula isn¿t the first vampire to have graced the pages of literature¿that honor is thought to belong to Lord Ruthven in The Vampyr, by John William Polidori¿but Dracula is the vampire on which modern vampires are based.Dracula wasn¿t as famous in its day as it is today; readers of the time seemed to enjoy it as nothing more than a good story, and Stoker died nearly penniless. But its long-lasting influence is undeniable, and for all its age Dracula remains a gripping, fast-paced, and enjoyable read.

Supongo que algunos de ustedes recordarán el caso ocurrido no hace mucho del acróbata que murió en un accidente durante una representación. No hace falta mencionar nombres. Nos referiremos a él como Mortimer, Henry Mortimer. Nunca se supo la causa de su muerte, pero yo sí sé cómo se produjo. He guardado silencio durante todo este tiempo, y ahora puedo hablar sin miedo a herir a nadie. Ya han fallecido todos los interesados en su muerte o en la del hombre que la planeó. Cualquiera de ustedes que conozca el caso recordará lo apuesto, bien parecido y elegante que era Mortimer. Creo que es el hombre más atractivo que he visto nunca. Además, era el tipo más ágil que haya pisado nunca un escenario. Estaba tan seguro de sí mismo que utilizaba peso extra; así, cuando caía el contrapeso, saltaba cinco o seis pies más alto de lo que nunca nadie ha podido saltar. Además, levantaba las piernas en el aire de tal forma, parecida a como hacen las ranas al nadar, que daba la sensación de que saltaba mucho más arriba. Creo que todas las chicas estaban enamoradas de él por la forma en que se comportaban cuando estaban entre bastidores y se acercaba el momento de su entrada. Eso no le habría importado mucho (las chicas siempre se enamoran de un hombre u otro), de no haber sido porque varias mujeres casadas empezaron a comportarse igual. Para mayor vergüenza, algunas de las que iban siempre detrás de él llevaban a sus propios maridos.
