"Bram Stoker's Dracula is an essential guide to criticism of Stoker's novel and provides an astute and critically subtle reading of the novel's complexities. However, it is also much more than that because Hughes's skilful location of Dracula within its literary, cultural, and historical contexts makes us think again about how we approach late Victorian fiction. Scholarly, clear and concise this book makes a significant contribution to how we understand Dracula and its complex Gothic contexts." - Professor Andrew Smith, University of Glamorgan, UK.
