This new edition of the most famous of vampire stories has been illustrated by James Pyman and has been designed by John Morgan, in collaboration with the artist. Although the figure of Dracula has long loomed large in the public consciousness, for this edition, Pyman returned to the original text, illustrating a line or phrase from each of the book’s 27 chapters in a series of beautiful pencil drawings.
The novel, made up of a series of diaries, letters and newspaper cuttings, has been typeset by designer John Morgan with a different typeface for each character, the fonts based on those in use at the time of the book’s original publication. The yellow clothbound cover echoes that of the first UK edition.
