Dracula has been attributed to many literary genres including vampire literature, horror fiction, the gothic novel and invasion literature. Structurally it is an epistolary novel, that is, told as a series of diary entries and letters. Literary critics have examined many themes in the novel, such as the role of Victorian culture, conventional and conservative women sexuality, immigration, colonialism, postcolonialism and folklore. Although Stoker did not invent the vampire, the novel's influence on the popularity of vampires has been singularly responsible for many theatrical and film interpretations throughout the 20th and 21st centuries.

Een meeslepende weergave van de duistere criminele onderwereld van Londen, het verhaal volgt Oliver Twist, een wees die vanaf zijn geboorte geconfronteerd wordt met kwaad en tegenspoed. Na te zijn ontsnapt uit het werkhuis en de pompeuze Mr. Bumble, wordt Oliver in een bende van dieven getrokken, vol levendige personages zoals de sluwe Artful Dodger, de brute inbreker Bill Sikes, zijn hond Bull's Eye en de prostituee Nancy, allemaal onder het waakzame oog van meester-dief Fagin. Dickens mengt elementen van Gothic Romance, Newgate Novel en populair melodrama, en creëert een nieuwe soort fictie die een wrede samenleving bekritiseert, doordrenkt met een gevoel van bedreiging en mysterie. Dit verhaal biedt een kritische blik op de sociale ongelijkheid van de tijd en de strijd van de onschuldige tegen de onderdrukking van de maatschappij.
