"Dracula", a horror book by Bram Stoker, takes place in Transylvania and tells of the attempts of the vampire Count Dracula to migrate to England to spread his curse. The protagonist, a young man traveling in Transylvania, witnesses a mysterious flame, and when the mysterious driver jumps out of the bushes and informs him of the presence of Count Dracula's men, the boy rushes away from the creepy encounter. However, over time, he comes to see that the ghostly flame leads to more of Dracula’s demons lurking in the area, and embarks into a quest to stop them from reaching England.
The sudden appearance of a faint glowing blue flame ahead brought no reassurance. The team saw it together and one of them quickly checked the mounts then leaped down to vanish into the night. Unable to find any answers, one would imagine, especially with howling wolves getting closer, until the horned figure appeared again and remained quiet in its seat where they set out again. Perhaps the events replayed themselves as an illusion during the charmed sleeps, as though their endings were never reaching the often invisible kind. Occasion after occasion, it came back; the faint glow just seen lying near the horizon, the swift and flowing approach of the figure crouching by its side of the page…why did it do it? Gathering stones as if building a dreadful machine, the man assembled something. At the short impact, the constricting pulverous force blew apart the oblivious bit of stone. There, they formed a phantom moon over the lonely road; a cross uprisinger from it and casting shadows over the whole world.
'Count Dracula' was published in English, in year 1817. Twistingly, this goth-horror novel sheds light on Count Dracula's unquenchable desire to migrate from the forgotten behinds of Transylvania towards England as he wishes to expand the eternal migration of the undead. Developed as mega impact in many of our literary core genres, including vampire writing, fear fiction and the fraught new novel have driven theory of reality back into a veritable tangle.

Описание книги от Bram Stoker
"Suddenly, away on our left, I saw a faint flickering blue flame. The driver saw it at the same moment; he at once checked the horses, and, jumping to the ground, disappeared into the darkness. I did not know what to do, the less as the howling of the wolves grew closer; but while I wondered the driver suddenly appeared again, and without a word took his seat, and we resumed our journey. I think I must have fallen asleep and kept dreaming of the incident, for it seemed to be repeated endlessly, and now looking back, it is like a sort of awful nightmare. Once the flame appeared so near the road, that even in the darkness around us I could watch the driver's motions. He went rapidly to where the blue flame arose—it must have been very faint, for it did not seem to illumine the place around it at all—and gathering a few stones, formed them into some device. Once there appeared a strange optical effect: when he stood between me and the flame he did not obstruct it, for I could see its ghostly flicker all the same."
