Which vintage "Dracula" cover is your favorite?
It's been, oh, about 6,198 weeks since Dracula by Bram Stoker was first published in 1897. There have been many, many editions over the decades. I have gathered images of a few of the earlier ones here.

I'd have to vote for the 1901 edition, only because that scene in the book stands out in my memory as the most disturbing when I first read Dracula. I'd also give a nod to the overtly sexual cover on the Photoplay edition and the obvious tribute to Bela Lugosi on that Pocketbooks edition.
