Personal journal entries from an English lawyer, Jonathan Harker, start off the novel. Harker travels to Count Dracula's castle in Transylvania to assist him with legal business. Unfortunately for Harker, things go wrong fairly quickly. Dracula imprisons him in his castle. When he tries to sneak out, three female vampires attack Harker. Dracula saves him temporarily, but only because he needs information about England from Harker. It turns out that Dracula is planning to move. Once he knows what he wants from Harker, he leaves Harker to the mercy of the three female vampires. Harker barely escapes with his life. Dracula travels to England on a Russian ship called the Demeter. When the ship runs aground, the crew is discovered missing. The captain's log explains that the crew slowly disappeared. The ship's recovered cargo turns out to be dirt from Transylvania. Meanwhile, in England, Dracula turns his attention to hunting down Jonathan Harker's associates. He starts secretly drinking the blood of one of Harker's female friends, Lucy Westenra. When she grows weaker, another one of their friends, Dr. John Seward, calls in Professor Abraham Van Helsing, the first person who sees Dracula for what he really is. Helsing can tell that Lucy's blood is being drained by a vampire, but he thinks that the others will think he is crazy for suggesting it. His hesitation proves fatal: one night, Lucy is attacked by a wolf. She dies, but soon after, a newspaper reports that children are seeing a beautiful lady in the woods. Helsing knows he cannot hide the truth about Lucy any longer. He confides in her friends. Together they hunt Lucy down and stake her through the heart. This ends her vampire curse, but they cannot bring her back from the dead. After this, Jonathan Harker and his wife, Mina, join the others. They decide to kill Dracula. Dracula retaliates by feeding on Mina several times. He also forces her to drink his blood, so he can control her. Determined to save Mina, her husband and their friends destroy Dracula's lair in England and drive him back to Transylvania. They chase Dracula back to Transylvania, where the three female vampires from earlier try to convince Mina to join them. Van Helsing hunts them down and kills them. Then they hunt down Dracula. He is in a box of dirt being delivered back to his castle. Harker cuts Dracula's throat, while his friend stabs Dracula in the heart with a knife. Dracula turns to dust, breaking his connection with Mina. At the end of the book, it is re ... https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=N774qMNMBD8

After weeks as sea, the crew of Walton's ship finds an emaciated man, Victor Frankenstein, floating on an ice flow near death. In Walton's series of letters to his sister in England, he retells Victor's tragic story. Growing up in Geneva, Switzerland, Victor is a precocious child, quick to learn all new subjects. He is raised with Elizabeth, an orphan adopted by his family. Victor delights in the sciences and vows to someday study science. Victor prepares to leave for his studies at the University of Ingolstadt, when his mother and Elizabeth become ill with scarlet fever. Caroline dies from the disease, and Elizabeth is nursed back to health. At the university, Victor meets his professors M. Krempe and M. Waldman. For two years, Victor becomes very involved with his studies, even impressing his teachers and fellow students. He devises a plan to re-create and reanimate a dead body. He uses a combination of chemistry, alchemy, and electricity to make his ambition a reality. After bringing the creature to life, Victor feels guilty that he has brought a new life into the world with no provisions for taking care of the "monster." He runs away in fear and disgust from his creation and his conscience. The monster wanders the countryside while Victor seeks solace in a tavern near the university. Henry Clerval appears to save Victor and restore him to health. Alphonse writes to Victor telling him to come home immediately since an unknown assailant murdered his youngest brother, William, by strangulation. Justine Moritz, their housekeeper, is falsely accused of the murder of William, and she goes to the gallows willingly. Victor knows who the killer is but cannot tell his family or the police. He journeys out of Geneva to refresh his tortured soul and visits Mount Montanvert when he sees the monster coming to confront his maker with a proposition — "make me a mate of my own." Victor refuses, and the monster asks that his part of the story be heard. The pair retreats to a small hut on the mountain where the monster tells his story. The monster has taught himself to read and understand language so that he can follow the lives of his "adopted" family, the De Laceys. While the monster wanders the woods, he comes upon a jacket with a notebook and letters that were lost by Victor. From the notes, the monster learns of his creation.
