I cannot recommend this widely. It is very slow and probably boring to those who don’t enjoy the academic process of research. I read this at a time where it was really hard to engage with the text and had to put it down for a few weeks until I was ready to sit with this story, but holy shit if you like long-winded, academic-y, travelogue stories about vampires you will LOVE THIS. The ending is so satisfying after so much build-up and I kept wishing a tv show existed so I could experience this story again in all its colourful glory.
Absolutely fantastic. A true mastery of a book.

I really enjoyed discovering the history of Vlad and the legend of Dracula, the locations of the research making stories click together. The story also links
The story is told through a collection of letters and research, and set in several libraries. Is this dark academia?
By the very end, the depth of the title became apparent. Very satisfying 👏
