Welcome to my abridgement of Dracula Enter freely and of your own free will You will find every scene and character from the original still included in these pages with all the horror and drama. This version of Stoker's classic has been edited line by line to be more friendly to a modern reader and is about half the length of the original. I have done my best to keep the characters, themes, and interactions as true to Bram Stoker's original as possible, including his deliberate grammatical errors and spelling mistakes...but in half the pages. Enjoy

When I passed the porch, however, I could observe its internal beauties much more closely, for a large wood fire burned in the hall and all the rooms and passages were lighted.

It threatened to be a wild night. All day banks of sea-fog had come and gone, sweeping on shore with the south-east wind, which is so fatal at Cruden Bay, and indeed all along the coast of Aberdeenshire, and losing themselves in the breezy expanses of the high uplands beyond. As yet the wind only came in puffs, followed by intervals of ominous calm; but the barometer had been falling for days, and the sky had on the previous night been streaked with great "mare's-tails" running in the direction of the dangerous wind.
