This fascinating volume celebrates every aspect of Whitby''s Gothic past. With a detailed exploration of the town''s connection with Dracula (including historical events such as the beaching of the Dmitri and a visit to many of the book''s most famous sites), it will delight all lovers of Gothic fiction. Featuring a complete tour of attractions including the abbey and the churchyard - and full details of the gargoyles, tombstones and many other strange carvings to be found there - it evokes Whitby as it was when Stoker visited.
