From the same people who brought us the tray puzzle, Golden Books, this Universal Monsters licensed adaptation of the 1931 movie is one of a series of adaptations from the company. They had a huge push back in 1991, and two lines of books were part of this.
One was a slightly post Berenstain Bears series of illustrated adaptations- I've got Frankenstein but Dracula as since eluded me- and the other was fourth grade level adaptation.
No illustrations, but they've got great fold out posters.
This was the not-quite-Lugosi look that Universal was running with at the time. They'd have a look and market the heck out of it.
There was even a watch in this style.
This watch image below was snagged from ebay, but I had one back in the day- I used to wear a lot of black, read a lot of Anne Rice and smoke cloves, so a Dracula watch went pretty well with all that.
