A Module in Signum Classics Series
• Non-Sequential Series
Discussion-based
Medium intensity
"Listen to them, the children of the night. What music they make!"
Let’s sink our teeth into Bram Stoker’s Dracula, the novel that defined vampire literature. In misty Transylvania, Jonathan Harker is lured into the shadow-haunted castle of Count Dracula. Hungry for dominion over the living, the undead Dracula will stop at nothing to feed his craving for blood. As Dracula’s dark influence spreads to London, a desperate band of heroes must rally their courage and unravel ancient secrets to stand against the corruption that stalks the night.
Narrated through letters, diaries, and telegrams, Dracula combines modern storytelling with ancient folklore, immersing the reader into a world of baleful desire and ageless bloodthirst.
Our sessions will be shaped primarily as guided, text-centered discussions, inviting participants to explore the novel together while engaging critically with its themes, contexts, and enduring influence.
