The best horror stories are the ones that not only feature a terrifying monster, they also end up provoking unsettling realizations about society and the human condition. YOUR INVISIBLE CORSET is a modern-day, female-focused adaptation of Bram Stoker's novel Dracula. By streamlining the plot to focus on the struggles of Dracula's female victims and weaving in contemporary feminist ideals, YOUR INVISIBLE CORSET takes the iconic monster story in a fresh new direction, highlighting with disturbing clarity how the novel's subtle themes regarding a woman's role within Victorian culture are still hauntingly relevant today.
