Mysterious and Enticing!
Lembit E. - 5 years 9 months agoI first heard of Dracula in middle school English class. A classmate read it and then talked about it during free-read sharing. It was my first time hearing of "vampires" and horror (I was a sheltered child), and I was instantly intrigued. It was my next library loaner! I was in awe reading this book. This was the first book I read that was told from multiple perspectives. It took some time getting use to the language as well, but the story is easy to follow. Dracula remains a mysterious entity and one of my obsessions still to this day! #BannedBook

Your great-grandfather's vampires
Will S. - 6 years 10 months agoSome stories are so well loved that they are retold a thousand times. Surely we all know Bram Stoker's tale of terror, which all but propelled vampires into the public eye as icons of Gothic horror? Well, maybe not. I assumed I knew the tale, all its twists, and characters, inside and out. I was quickly, and pleasantly, surprised to find that I did not. While the differences between Stoker's novel and the 1931 film adaptation (which was so influential in the public eye that its content is often confused with the original book) are too numerous to detail here, the original gothic tale is one of suspense and terror rather than seductive mystery. Make no mistake - the original Dracula is a monster, if not an outright demon, with no quasi-romantic sensibilities. The women of the novel, Mina especially, are given depth and full characters instead of being regulated to screaming, virginal maids or evil seductresses. And Renfield is a completely different, tormented and a rather sympathetic character. In short, Dracula deserves to be revisited; blow the dust off its pages and remember why the novel made such an impact on the literary world in the first place.

The "Original" Bloodsucker!
Daniel B. - 7 years 2 months agoBefore there was Twilight, and before True Blood, and even before Anne Rice, there was Bram Stoker's Dracula. Dracula, the original vampire and representative of the undead, is an intriguing character and the way Stoker brings him to life is perfection. Bram Stoker included letters and other correspondence, which made me feel like I was reading someone else's mail, or looking over a clue to a crime. It is a wonderful classic and it started it all.
