A review by bloodmaarked
Dracula by Bram Stoker

dark mysterious tense slow-paced

• Plot- or character-driven? Plot
• Strong character development? It's complicated
• Loveable characters? It's complicated
• Diverse cast of characters? No
• Flaws of characters a main focus? No

3.5

3.5* rounded up. dracula got onto my radar somewhere somehow fairly recently and given it's one of the classics with probably the greatest cultural impact i thought i'd give it a read. i'm not that interested in horror or vampire lore but even given that, i was impressed with the many genuine moments of thrill and terror. it's clearly a classic for a reason and has stood up remarkably in that sense for over a century.
