The most blood-thirsty novel in English literature?

Originally titled The Un-Dead, Stoker changed the name to Dracula when the manuscript was already at the printer. Although the book was not a huge success in his lifetime, Stoker was praised for his accurate descriptions of a country he had never seen and for his detailed research on Transylvanian, especially Gypsy, superstition.
Stoker also wrote a play, “Dracula, or The Un-Dead,” which opened a few days before the novel appeared.
