Dracula (For Your Cat)

Bram Stoker’s Gothic horror masterpiece, translated for your cat. Every single word is now “meow.” A cornerstone of literary horror, Bram Stoker’s Dracula is as formally innovative as it is viscerally chilling. Its Gothic sensibility and unforgettable characters have inspired countless adaptations, yet none has addressed the reader whose nocturnal habits, predatory instincts, and sinister charm most closely mirror those of Stoker’s diabolical Count: the common housecat. In this painstaking new translation, feline linguist Sam Austen (Meow: A Novel) preserves, and even enhances, the novel’s layered narrative and incomparable atmosphere by rendering each of the original’s 160,000 words as “meow.” Its interwoven diaries, letters, and testimonies emerge as a prolonged, insistent caterwaul that will leave the human reader longing for death—and the feline reader ready to yowl each meticulously crafted syllable over its owner’s grave.
