Book Details
Description
He is deathly pale. His fingernails are cut to sharp points. His teeth protrude menacingly from his mouth in clouds of rancid breath. Yet even Count Dracula's unnerving appearance and the frightened reaction of the local peasants fail to warn Jonathan Harker, a young man from England, about his host. Little does Jonathan know that this is a land where babies are snatched for their blood and wolves howl menacingly from the forest, where reality is far more frightening than superstition. What's more, it's going to be up to him to stop the world's most bloodthirsty predator.

Después de leerlo, soy incapaz de ver las adaptaciones. Amo este libro, me encanta demasiado, es demasiado bueno y una historia de terror y el hermoso amor entre Jonathan y Mina, la pobre Lucy y el resto de los personajes, el inmenso amor que le tengo a Seward y el terror que infunde Drácula, es algo maravillosos y me duele que no exista (o aún no encuentre) una adaptación digna.

Dracula remains, today, a cornerstone of gothic-horror literature. Bram Stoker successfully created a novel that invokes as much a physical horror as a psychological one.
The most successful element, in my view, of this novel is the atmosphere. It dark, eerie and fully realised in all locations in which we are taken to. The opening section at Dracula's Castle was sublime, a masterclass in introducing a character and his machinations.
Whilst it does slow in the early-middle section of the Novel, its not enough to detract from what is, otherwise, a masterpiece of world building and storytelling.
