Bram Stoker's Dracula - Full Cast Audiobook Produced by Elysian Nightfall Studios
In this Classic Gothic Horror, Dracula is presented with a multi-narrator cast in this unabridged 1897 original text version.
I SO enjoyed this audiobook!
I've never read Dracula before. I mean, it's been on my list for awhile because it's a classic and I have quite a few challenges/quests where I'm trying to read a bunch of classics, but I've never had the urge to pick this one up.
After reading A Dowry of Blood earlier this year, it kind of turned me off to Dracula, but when I saw this audiobook, I felt I needed to give it a go. It's October, so it's a great time for a spooky story and I do love a good Vampire story.
I am SO glad that I did. This full cast version was delightfully immersive and I really enjoyed all of the narrators. It felt like it brought this pretty old classic to life. I could imagine the story taking place now with the story really coming to life.
I didn't know that the styling of the novel was First Person POV, but kind of epistolary style with everyone's narration delivered as a diary entry or letter. It was such a cool delivery device. I mean, I've read epistolary before, but since I didn't expect it, it was even better to be surprised with this full cast version.
I'm so glad I did. I'm not sure that I would've enjoyed it as a book on my first readthrough as much. Because of the number of characters and the frequent changes, the audiobook narrator changes were really nice to ensure I was on track with the POV changes.

⭐⭐⭐⭐ For the book
⭐⭐⭐⭐💫 For this specific audiobook
Entendo perfeitamente que não teria outra maneira de contar a história, se não através dos diários dos personagens, embora eu não seja muito fã desse tipo de leitura, o livro me surpreendeu!
El libro para mí se merece, siempre, las cinco estrellas. Ahora, esta edición en concreto... Entre la cantidad de faltas de ortografía y tipografía y según qué licencias con la traducción...
