Creepy Classics: Dracula (Easy Classics) by Gemma Barder

Adapted and illustrated edition of Dracula at easy-to-read level for a new generation of readers aged 7+.

Jonathan Harker’s work trip to Romania should have been simple, but Castle Dracula is shrouded with mystery. The building is maze-like, the owner only appears in the dead of night and during the day sleeps deep underground in the cold! Jonathan is desperate to return to England, but first he must escape from the castle – and pray that Count Dracula doesn’t follow.

About the Creepy Classics Children's Collection:

An opera house haunted by a musical spirit and a castle whose owner sleeps in a coffin are just two of the places these ten spooky stories transport readers to. Based on the world’s most famous gothic literature, they have been simplified and sanitised for a younger audience, with all the excitement and thrills of the originals.
