My Penguin Dracula

That cover is naked, put something on it

We've published seven more Classics with naked front covers and this time there's a twist... The seven titles have been chosen by seven bands (including Razorlight, Beck and Ryan Adams) and they've all done their own covers for them.

When Jonathan Harker visits Transylvania to help Count Dracula with the purchase of a London house, he makes horrifying discoveries about his client and his castle. Soon afterwards, a number of disturbing incidents unfold in England: an unmanned ship is wrecked at Whitby; strange puncture marks appear on a young woman’s neck; and the inmate of a lunatic asylum raves about the imminent arrival of his ‘Master’. In the ensuing battle of wits between the sinister Count Dracula and a determined group of adversaries, Bram Stoker created a masterpiece of the horror genre.
