I choose Dracula because it's an well known story for me. As I have read quit a lot stories that are inspired from Dracula. It's not the most attempting story at the beginning but you know that there is something with the story already from the first chapter.
Also it's a story that i think is quite easy to write a short story to. Because you have heard so many other stories about Dracula and stories that are similar to Dracula.
