Dracula by Bram Stoker
4.5
adventurous challenging dark mysterious tense slow-paced
Plot or Character Driven: Plot
Strong character development: Yes
Loveable characters: Yes
Diverse cast of characters: Complicated
Flaws of characters a main focus: No

4.5! A treasure piece of gothic fiction. Though it was a slow-paced read, I enjoyed it and the suspense made up for it. I grew fond of the companionship and camaraderie of the group, I find that horror is much more poignant when utilising an ensemble of characters in a fight against the antagonist, especially when that bond is heartened through pain, struggle and loss.
