One title on the list:
Dracula by Bram StokerRead about another novel on the list.
Jonathan Harker travels to deepest Transylvania. "The crazy coach rocked on its great leather springs, and swayed like a boat tossed on a stormy sea." As the mountains close in, his fellow passengers press gifts on him to "guard against the evil eye", but he doesn't quite get their terror. And why are they so keen to speed away after dropping him off?
Dracula is on Rowan Somerville's top ten list of good sex in fiction, Arthur Phillips' list of six favorite books set in places that their authors never visited, and Anthony Browne's six best books list. It is one of the books on John Mullan's lists of ten of the best teeth in literature, ten of the best wolves in literature and ten of the best mirrors in literature.
