Ich liebe ja "Dracula". Keine Ahnung, wie oft ich das schon gelesen habe (und wie viele Verfilmungen ich schon gesehen hab :)), aber es packt mich immer wieder, wie raffiniert Stoker mit seiner Erzählweise Spannung aufbaut: Briefe, Tagebucheinträge, Berichte, der Leser erfährt nur, was die Schreiben...

The Historian gave an old story a new twist. It's a long-long-long narrative about vampire hunting. Not just a vampire, but the vampire--Count Vlad of the Order of the Dragon (aka Dracula).First, a little bit of summary. A lady (which remained nameless all through the book) recaptured a chapter in h...

A gothic horror classic. A book that predates Dracula by almost 100 years and was written by Mary Shelley when she was just 19 years old. Firstly, I LOVED the Penguin Classics Deluxe edition of this book. It had an amazing cover and started with a brief introduction of circumstances of how it came t...

I'd give this really a 2.9 because there were elements I liked about the book. I liked the historical aspect and the mystery aspect but fantasy/science fiction of Dracula still being alive?

It’s an intriguing ...

Wciąga jak nie wiem co, stale zerkałam w jej kierunku, by tylko złapać do ręki i czytać, czytać, czytać... Jeden dzień i przeczytana. Szkoda, że rozwiązanie akcji i wyjaśnienie są tak szybkie, krótkie... Jakby nie pasujące do całości. Niemniej - polecam.

Listened to this on audio. Wow! Loved it. The narrators were fantastic with all the characters and accents. My favorite was, of course, Dracula. Or, as he said it, Dra-KOOL-ya.

I had forgotten how much I loved this book. (And am amazed that somehow I never added it to my books here.) In the early 1970's, a young woman finds some old papers and a mysterious book in her father Paul's study; getting up the nerve to ask him about them (she shouldn't have been poking around in...
