Chills race up and down young solicitor Jonathan Harker's spine as he enters the eerie castle of a Transylvanian count. His host, Count Dracula, is a curious creature that becomes enamored with the photograph of Harker's fiancee, Mina. Dracula decides he must find the enchanting Mina and have her as his own. He boards a boat and makes the long journey to find Mina as the ship's crew mysteriously disappears one by one. Van Helsing, called to care for Mina's friend Lucy, senses there is something different about Dracula. Mina is drawn to Dracula's seduction and tries to fight this overwhelming power. But can she?
When Old Hoggen disappeared, everyone in Charmouth suspected foul play. Hoggen had been rich, powerful – and not well liked. Suspicions fall on summer vacationers…and in particularly newcomers Augustus, his wife, mother-in-law, and Cousin Jemima (who bears a striking resemblance to the missing man). When Augustus actually finds the Old Hoggen's body washed ashore in a storm, events take a decidedly sinister turn. <P> A strikingly good, exceedingly rare mystery from the author of Dracula! (The text is taken from the 1893 newspaper apperarance in «The Courier-Journal» of Louisville, Kentucky.)

3 May. Bistritz.–Left Munich at 8:35 P.M., on 1st May, arriving at Vienna early next morning; should have arrived at 6:46, but train was an hour late. Buda-Pesth seems a wonderful place, from the glimpse which I got of it from the train and the little I could walk through the streets. I feared to go very far from the station, as we had arrived late and would start as near the correct time as possible.<br><br>The impression I had was that we were leaving the West and entering the East; the most western of splendid bridges over the Danube, which is here of noble width and depth, took us among the traditions of Turkish rule.<br><br>We left in pretty good time, and came after nightfall to Klausenburgh. Here I stopped for the night at the Hotel Royale. I had for dinner, or rather supper, a chicken done up some way with red pepper, which was very good but thirsty. (Mem. get recipe for Mina.) I asked the waiter, and he said it was called "paprika hendl," and that, as it was a national dish, I should be able to get it anywhere along the Carpathians.<br><br>I found my smattering of German very useful here, indeed, I don't know how I should be able to get on without it.<br><br>Having had some time at my disposal when in London, I had visited the British Museum, and made search among the books and maps in the library regarding Transylvania; it had struck me that some foreknowledge of the country could hardly fail to have some importance in dealing with a nobleman of that country.
