The Man is a gothic novel combining elements of horror and romance written by Bram Stoker, the author of the acclaimed Dracula made famous by the 1931 movie adaption starring Bela Lugosi. Other masters of gothic fiction include Edgar Allan Poe and H.G. Wells. The Man follows the story of Stephen, a lovely young woman and Harold, who is slowly approaching manhood.

Stephen is a remarkable character, that has an enlightened feminist perspective ahead of her time, liberating her from the confined conventions regarding a women s role in society. Stoker s descriptive powers seen in the renowned Dracula are also vividly demonstrated in The Man .A sheer pleasure to read, brimming with beautiful prose and an enchanting storyline. The Man is highly recommended for readers who also enjoy classic english literature focusing on the strength of women in the face of adversity as vibrantly depicted in the works of Jane Austen and George Eliot.
