Get ready to welcome literature’s most iconic predator into your ears. Audible, Inc. has officially announced a massive, multi-language audio reimagining of Bram Stoker’s masterpiece, Dracula—turning the legendary Gothic tale into a chilling, fully-cast audio experience just in time for Halloween!
This isn’t just a standard reading; it’s a global phenomenon. Audible is producing seven distinct, fully localized productions (English, French, German, Italian, Castilian Spanish, LATAM Spanish, and Brazilian Portuguese), each boasting an A-list cast.
The Star-Studded English Cast
The English-language production features a jaw-dropping roster of talent. The program features the voices of Jonathan Bailey (Wicked, Bridgerton) as Dracula, Ella Purnell (Fallout) as Mina, and Maggie Gyllenhaal (The Dark Knight) as Professor Van Helsing. They are joined by Aimee Lou Wood (The White Lotus), Louis Partridge (Enola Holmes), and David Jonsson (Industry).

The Story: A Psychological Battle of Wills
When her fiancé mysteriously vanishes in Transylvania, Mina Murray begins sifting through frantic letters, eerie diary entries, and unsettling testimony. She soon realizes a sinister predator is stalking her loved ones—and he’s already set his sights on her.
When Mina’s best friend Lucy falls under his hypnotic spell, the enigmatic Professor Van Helsing is brought in to wage war. But it is Mina’s intellect, sharp intuition, and unbreakable resolve that hold the key to stopping the ancient monster… assuming he hasn’t already breached her mind.
Cinematic Soundscapes & Visionary Direction
This immersive audio thriller marks the audiobook directing debut of horror royalty Mary Lambert (Pet Sematary). Robyn Ahern (recipient of the Bisha K. Ali Screenwriters Fellowship) adapted the script. The program features a haunting original score by Ilan Eshkeri (Audible’s 1984, House of Guinness) paired with a 3D binaural soundscape.
“When Dracula whispers in your ear, when you hear his footsteps in the dark but see no reflection, that’s when you understand why we’re the home for this story,” says Aurelie de Troyer, Head of Audible Content, International. “Our production elevates the psychological thriller at Dracula’s core, with the battle between Mina and Dracula as the heart of it all.”
