Dracula recounts the struggle of a group of men and a woman - Dr. Seward, Dr. Van Helsing and Jonathan Harker and his wife Mina - to destroy the vampire, whose sinister earthh-filled coffins are discovered by Harker in a ruined chapel adjoining Dr. Seward's asylum. Cruel and noble, evilly and fatally desirable to woman, Dracula possesses a terrifying lust for power and, like Dr. Jekyll or Conan Doyle's Moriarty, is one of the immortal fictional monsters.
