Constable & Robinson, the original publisher of Bram Stoker’s Dracula, is set to release a special edition of the book on the anniversary of the author’s death in April.
The new version is reproduced using the exact dimensions and the same font that was used in the first edition—which was published by C&R in 1897—and also includes a copy of the Irish author’s original contract with the publisher.
Author Colm Tóibín has written an “extensive” introduction to the book, which has a simple yellow cover featuring blood-red text. C&R said it would be sold through all bookshops and online retail channels, priced at £50. The publisher has a 1,000-copy first-print run.
