This was my second reading, and just as enjoyable as the first. I love the structure: a collection of correspondence, typed-up notes, and news clippings, inviting the reader to piece together the story herself. A description in Dr. Seward’s notes echoes an observation in Jonathan Harker’s diary, and...
CAST LUCY: tons of suitors, she's not "loose" or anything but seems very involved in getting married and flighty things MINA: Lucy's BFF. She can type and write shorthand. Seems to be the smarter one of the two. JONATHAN HARKER: Mina's fiancée/husband. Meeting up with Ct Dracula to help him sort out...
Highs and Lows, but Still the OriginalSo it turns out Count Dracula never actually says "I vant to suck your blood!" Huh.He does do everything else, however. Turns into a bat. Sleeps in a coffin during the day. Only has powers at night. Hates garlic and crosses. Is immortal--unless beheaded and sta...
I've never wanted to read Dracula. Strider - my sister, so named because she had her legs stretched when she joined the circus so she could stride over cars and unicorns - was always big into Vampires, from Point Horror's The Return of the Vampire, to Anne Rice (and the film, which I recently rewatc...
I think I first read this for a class on Gothic Literature and Film, which was my first real film class back in undergrad and I enjoyed it immensely. Er, specifically reading the book and seeing the film, then comparing how the two differ. Dracula is one of those "seminal in the history of horror" t...
There has been so much lost over the years with the legend of Bram Stoker’s Dracula. Or should I say added to? Dracula, the brutal warring lover who lost the love of his life when she jumped from the castle to the rocky bottom below because those evil Turks tricked her into believing that Dracula...
I've read this twice now and my estimation of it has lowered, but it is still a great novel. Count Dracula is such a powerful pop culture figure who's taken on a strange life of his own forever outside the boundaries of his pages that I don't need to go into the actual plot of this, do I? The hairy,...
I've been meaning to read this for a while, and even though it was a little difficult to get into, by about halfway through when all the different strands linked up I couldn't read it fast enough. I also wasn't even quite sure if they would kill Dracula in the end, it had me quite on edge!This is ho...
I'm pretty sure I read this back in high school, but as I started to read it just before Halloween, I realized I had completely forgotten everything about it. It has a good dose of creepy and thrilling elements, though it's a bit plodding in parts, what with all the journal entries and exclamations...
