This is wordy and repetitive and definitely a product of its time. That said, I enjoyed being put in that time and I learned a lot about the origin of the vampire genre. The best part of this is Jonathan's initial foray into dracula's castle - the eery atmosphere and palpable tension just didn't carry over to the portions in England for me.

DID NOT FINISH

some of the language is really outdated and harmful. there are historical books that dont punch down on other cultures and races. 

A slow burn, written entirely in letters and journals. Some truly chilling moments and I bet this scared people out of their minds when it was first released.

Read with the Dracula Daily format. A wonderful experience that delivered the full range of emotion and tension the story holds. I can see why it’s a classic :)
