Descrizione

Because of the widespread awareness of the story of the evil Transylvanian count and the success of numerous film adaptations that have been created over the years, the modern audience hasn't had a chance to truly appreciate the unknowing dread that readers would have felt when reading Bram Stoker's original 1897 manuscript. Most modern productions employ campiness or sound effects to try to bring back that gothic tension, but we've tried something different. By returning to Stoker's original storytelling structure - a series of letters and journal entries voiced by Jonathan Harker, Dr. Van Helsing, and other characters - with an all-star cast of narrators, we've sought to recapture its originally intended horror and power.

This production of Dracula is presented by what is possibly the best assemblage of narrating talent ever for one audiobook: Emmy Award nominees Alan Cumming and Tim Curry plus an all-star cast of Audie award-winners Simon Vance (The Millenium Trilogy), Katherine Kellgren (Pride and Prejudice and Zombies), Susan Duerden (The Tiger’s Wife), John Lee (Supergods) and customer favorites Graeme Malcolm (Skippy Dies), Steven Crossley (The Oxford Time Travel series), Simon Prebble (The Baroque Cycle), James Adams (Letters to a Young Contrarian), Nicola Barber (The Rose Garden), Victor Villar-Hauser (Fun Inc.), and Marc Vietor (1Q84).

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.
