Dracula Daily
by Bram Stoker
2/5
The idea of Dracula Daily is a lot of fun. Receiving the diary entries or letters each in story day was a very immersive and digestible way to read this story.
I didn’t enjoy the story. Perhaps the intrigue back in the day of not knowing who Dracula was, nor his abilities was enough to scare readers. These days, we know exactly what he is, and therefore I was expected to rely simply on his actions. What did he do that was engaging and scary? Practically nothing.
A majority of this book is long winded explanations of the environment. HOW MANY PARAGRAPHS ARE NEEDED TO EXPLAIN THE WEATHER.
I can’t tell if the book is bad or I just read it in the wrong era.
