DRACULA
Jonathan Harker was a young lawyer working in London in 1800. His wife was a beautiful intelligent woman named Mina. They lived very happily together until the day that Jonathan got a letter from someone named Count Dracula, who lived in Transylvania. Dracula wanted to buy a house and needed Jonathan’s help to find one. He was paying a lot of money, so Jonathan travelled to Transylvania to meet him.
Count Dracula was a tall thin man who was always dressed in black. Jonathan arrived at his castle late at night and Dracula welcomed him and invited him to stay in his castle for a few days. Jonathan agreed, thinking of the money.

One day, as he was searching for a way out of the castle, Jonathan found Dracula's dead body.

But Mina wasn’t stupid. The next morning she went to the library and read about Dracula and vampires. She also found out how she...
