Chapter & Worse

Classics · Dracula, Bram Stoker, 1897

Does Lucy become a vampire in Dracula?

Yes. After Dracula drains her, Lucy Westenra dies and comes back as a vampire who preys on children, until the men who loved her destroy her.

Newspapers report children being led away by a "bloofer lady", a child's way of saying beautiful lady. Van Helsing takes the men to her tomb, and her fiancé, Arthur, drives the stake himself.

“they had been with a "bloofer lady."”
Dracula, Chapter XIII
