Overall I did enjoy Dracula and I’m glad I finally sat down and read it. It’s certainly not without its flaws but I think it’s worth reading if you haven’t already.
“The last I saw of Count Dracula was his kissing his hand to me, with a red light of triumph in his eyes, and with a smile that Judas in hell might be proud of.”

I've put homophobia and xenophobia as mild because they are implied rather than explicit. Also worth being aware of: Victorian sciences and psychology.wordswoods's review against another edition

-Moderate Racial slurs: the word "g*psy" is used multiple times throughout the novel -Moderate Sexism: There is no sexism encountered by the characters in the universe of the story, but the narration and word choices of the author are dated and express antiquated opinions on gender roles and gendered expectations throughout the novelbedneyauthor's review against another edition
