What is the story about?/What happened in the story?:
Jonathan Harker is a businessman, travelling to Transylvania to discuss business matters with Count Dracula. The minute he gets there, Harker knows that Count Dracula isn't.... ordinary. The Count lives in a castle, doesn't join his guest during meal time, and is never there during the day. Soon Harker discovers that he isn't human at all! When Harker's story is exposed and other people also get affected by Count Dracula's mischiefs, a group of people get together and decide to kill him!
