tedious!!!! i read this back in 2021/22 with dracula daily and i found it a total chore, if not for the newsletter i probably would've DNF'd. i see its influence on the genre and whatever and i am furthered in my conviction that vampire shit just isn't for me

Uno de mis eternos pendientes, qué mejor que leerlo en estas fechas próximas a Halloween...

El sabor de boca ha sido bueno en general. La narrativa en forma de cartas y diarios, en primera persona, hace que te metas en la historia desde el primer momento, resultando escalofriante e interesante. El personaje de Drácula, a pesar de aparecer poco, consigue estar presente en todo momento como símbolo del mal personificado.

Sin embargo... Sé que para leer clásicos hay que ponerse las gafas de leer clásicos para poder juzgarlo e interpretarlo en base a un contexto histórico y social pero... A mi se me han resbalado las gafas con tanto comentario paternalista y en muchas ocasiones despectivo hacia las mujeres. Si fuese algún comentario aislado... Pero me ha llegado a resultar cansino con las constantes frases del estilo. Y aunque intente pasarlas por alto... Lo siento, pero me han acabado resquemando.

También me ha llegado a parecer demasiado lento en algunos puntos... La primera mitad se me ha hecho muy ágil, pero a partir de ahí, parecía que le costaba avanzar.

A pesar de estos detalles la lectura ha sido agradable en general y me alegro de haberlo quitado de mi lista de pendientes al fin.

This was my first time reading Dracula, and I wasn’t sure what to expect—but I absolutely loved it! The story pulled me in with eerie castles, mysterious letters, and a creeping sense of dread that built with every page. Count Dracula is the perfect villain—charming, terrifying, and unforgettable in equal measure. It’s a gripping mix of adventure, horror, and suspense that kept me hooked right to the end.
