RARE COLLECTABLE IST EDITION 1897 DRACULA BRAM STOKER






















 

RARE COLLECTIBLE IST EDITION 1897 DRACULA  BRAM STOKER

THE BEGINNING OF A GENRE OF SUPERNATURAL HORROR STORIES

Printed in 1897

Westminster Archibald Constable And Company

2 Whtehall Gardens London

390 pages all intact

16 pages of ads for other publications of the time, in the rear of the book

I believe this is the 2nd imprint of the first edition of 1897.

First few pages are loose, the remainder & well bound

Very little staining of pages

Pages are hand cut

Cover in good order

Spine shows some age & staining from sunlight, being the surface exposed the most on a bookshelf.

 

Written as a series of short stories or essays that join sequence together

 

Bram Stoker became a well known socialite & member of the British Aristocratic class & the book was a smash hit upon release. Bram Stoker went on to write numerous other novels, none of them however, as well known as Dracula. The Supernatural horror story that was researched for a decade by Stoker, before completion, launched a whole genre of horror stories, that are still as popular today as they were in the late 19th Century.

 

THIS ORIGINAL FIRST EDITION IS A RARE OPPORTUNITY TO ACQUIRE A PIECE OF RENOWNED CLASSICAL LITERATURE.

 

A GREAT INVESTMENT. THIS EDITION, HAS SOLD IN THE RECENT PAST FOR AS MUCH AS US$50,000
