Count Dracula rules from his fortress in the mountains of Transylvania, but his hunger drives him beyond the ancient walls. The vampire sets his sights on London, where unsuspecting victims walk the gaslit streets of the Victorian era. As Dracula spreads his dark influence through England's capital, he encounters those who would stand against his supernatural power. The story follows the bloodsucker's journey from his remote castle to the heart of civilization, where old evil meets the modern world. Michael Mucci adapts Bram Stoker's 1897 novel while Ben Caldwell brings the tale to life through detailed artwork that captures period clothing, architecture, and heraldry. This graphic novel treatment makes the classic vampire story accessible to young readers while preserving the terror that has captivated audiences for over a century.
