- I thought the polycule was a joke … it is in fact NOT a joke
- honestly the best way to experience Dracula … great voice performance that helped get through the longer stretches on monolog
- need to read through the book now

NOTE: I recommend the RE:Dracula on Spotify (and wherever else you can find it) - Really well acted and had some fun original songs added that fit so well into the narrative.

I regret is not reading this earlier, it was funny, creepy, endearing and even "knowing" the story of Dracula there were so many great surprises waiting for me.
Who would've thought that Dracula was a good book - what a surprise.

I have read the book a couple of times before and enjoyed it, but experiencing it as a full cast audiobook really enhanced it a lot. Such a seminal work for anyone interested in horror and the gothic, while one can of course critique it for many reasons, especially with the knowledge of how much further the genre has come in the last century or so, but its always worth reading as a foundational work as well as on its own merits.
The cast were generally fantastic, and I loved the occasional musical codas (although there were a couple of shaky singing performances).
