A review by the_fang_kid
Dracul by J.D. Barker, Dacre Stoker

dark emotional mysterious tense slow-paced
  • Plot- or character-driven? A mix
  • Strong character development? Yes
  • Loveable characters? It's complicated
  • Diverse cast of characters? No
  • Flaws of characters a main focus? It's complicated

4.0

Mirrors the tone of the original Dracula perfectly, letting the book flow smoothly as a prequel. If anyone could write a Dracula prequel, Dacre Stoker has more authority to do so than most considering he's Bram Stoker's direct descendant. I would've preferred conventional chapters alongside the epistolary format though
