easily one of my favorite classics. journal entry based stories get me every time and i will never get enough of the funky narrators of the 19th century. ALSO any sort of epilogue. did tear up. RIP cowboy
also i cannot believe how much of this story has been lost to time. van helsing (2004) bastardized the original character so bad and i love that so much. also edward cullen didn’t even make one (1) appearance.
if you’re scared of classics like i was, this is a great place to start! it’s easy to understand and with the general cultural knowledge of vampires, context is easy to come by.

I've recently decided to try and read some more classics and I decided to start with Dracula. What a great choice! It's considered a classic for a reason. These are exactly the types of monsters I picture in my mind when I hear the word "Vampire". It wasn't really scary, but very atmospheric and creepy at times. Could definitely see myself rereading this in the future.

I liked it but not nearly as much as I thought I would. There were some parts that were very intense and I'm certainly happy that I picked it up and read it.

3.75 stars. How many times can one use the word “voluptuous” in one paragraph? How many blood transfusions can one accept from random, unmatched donors before a hemolytic reaction occurs? And how many boxes of dirt does a vampire truly need? Minor grievances aside, I did overall enjoy this book. Having consumed much of the more modern vampire lore, it’s fascinating to read one of the OG vampire novels and see how many of its elements continue to be referenced over a hundred years later. Definitely worth a read for any vampire fan!

DNF. I’m glad I only spent $.20 on this book. I dunno if it’s the style of the book, or if it was the narrator I was listening to it with. I’m not a fan. I thought since it was almost Halloween that I’d try and read this, since it’s a classic. I should’ve just stayed curious about this. From where I got in the book, I just DNF’d it. I don’t recommend it, but don’t listen to me kids! 🫶🏻
