Dracula by Bram Stoker

I honour of Hallowe'en I have chosen a spooky book. I always thought that the Dracula character was invented more recently just for Hallowe'en, not that he was a historic literary character. Here is the summary:

Jonathan Harker is travelling to Castle Dracula to see the Transylvanian noble, Count Dracula. He is begged by locals not to go there, because on the eve of St George's Day, when the clock strikes midnight, all the evil things in the world will come full sway. But business must be done, so Jonathan makes his way to the Castle - and then his nightmare begins. His beloved wife Meena and other lost souls have fallen under the Count's horrifying spell. Dracula must be destroyed . . .

I get scared so easily so I am nervous about this one getting the best of me. I guess its time to toughen up though because looking through the list again, I see that there are many other books that look like they are terrifying.
