Desearia estar lejos de aqui, o jamas haber venido. Jonathan Harker viaja hasta el remoto castillo del Conde Dracula, en los solitarios montes Carpatos de Rumania, para llevar a cabo un importante negocio: la venta de una vieja mansion en Londres, donde Dracula tiene pensado trasladarse.

Esta edicion incluye, ademas, un breve relato atribuido a Stocker, El huesped de Dracula, y una introduccion sobre Las metamorfosis del vampiro, a cargo de la academica mexicana Margo Glantz.
