Dracula
Mina Murray wonders if her friend Lucy is suffering from some sort of sleepwalking illness when she finds her asleep in a churchyard in the middle of the night. We later learn that control of sleep is one of the ways that Count Dracula is able to lure and manipulate his victims. Stoker’s epistolary novel uses the vampire to explore numerous cultural anxieties of the fin de siècle dealing with sexuality, technology and science, moral and social degradation, and foreign invasion.
