SYNOPSIS
Mina Murray-Harker wakes up with a terrified gasp as her panicked husband carries her into the hospital; at first, she has no idea what happened to her.

While staying true to the original novel, the story remains sharply focused on the struggles of Dracula’s female victims, illuminating how Bram Stoker’s themes regarding Victorian women’s role in society are hauntingly relevant even today.
