I know a lot of other reviewers said that parts could be trimmed and that it dragged on. I agree to an extent, but I still loved the crap out of this book.

I didn't know that there was an American cowboy who plays an integral part in the story. I didn't know that Van Helsing was a kindly old professor. I think a lot of the original story has been lost over the years, especially in movie adaptations. (I fear this happens a lot with classic horror books.)

The audiobook narrators were great, and I love that each character had their own voice.

I also learned that Dracula was a heavy basis for Nosferatu, but the creators of the latter changed a few things to avoid copyright.

Now I want to read the The Vampyre by John Polodori, the original original vampire novel that influenced Dracula.

I guess, if you're reading this, go in expecting long winded bits and parts where the characters are just sitting around and waiting. But the action brings a sense of terror and you'll find yourself eagerly enjoying it. (I do recommend the audiobook version.)

Oh, also I love an epistolary novel.

What a ride. The Dracula Daily experience definitely enhanced my enjoyment, but what an incredible story of its own! I've laughed, I've cried, it's been unforgettable.

Hay libros que por mucho que pase el tiempo no pierden la frescura ni la capacidad de despertar los sentimientos como si fuese la primera vez.
Lo volveré a leer una y otra vez, la aventura de personas valientes que dieron lo que tenían por salvar al mundo del malvado conde Drácula
