I read along with the Dracula Daily crew this time around and had an absolute blast reading it this way.
From the characters to the plot and overall story it's just a fantastic book on all fronts (as well as an excellent Gothic novel).
Definitely a book I'll revisit many times again.

This was my first time experiencing Dracula the novel as well, and it was pretty good! A solid mid-tier classic book for me. It was a fun story that surprisingly reminded me of Scooby Doo and Mystery Inc. - I wasn't expecting that. The character dynamics were unexpected and touchingly sincere. The horror moments were admirably grotesque. It's a classic for a reason and it was very fun to see the source material for so much modern horror.
The writing is decent but I wish Stoker didn't try accents so much.
