There, he searches for the blood he needs to stay alive - the blood of strong men and beautiful women -- while his enemies plot to rid the world of his frightful power.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan\u003eThough Dracula's undertones of dark sexuality have alays been of interest to readers of the novel, today's critics see it as a virtual textbook on Victorian repression of the erotic and fear of female sexuality. In Dracula, Stoker created a new word for terror, a new myth to feed our nightmares, and a character who will undoubtedly outlive us all.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan\u003eBrooke Allen is a book critic whose work has appeared in numerous publications including The Atlantic Monthly, The New Criterion, The Neu York Times Book Review, The Wall Street Journal, apd The Hudson Review.
