Описание

Bram Stoker's 1897 novel, Dracula, may not be the first vampire novel, but it is certainly the most famous. These scenarios couldn't be more different than the conservative Victorian era during which the book was published — though critically praised from the start as being ahead of its time it was not an immediate bestseller.

The story is told through a series of letters recounting a young Jonathan Harker, a lawyer who visits Count Dracula to arrange a real estate transaction and realizes before long that he has been taken hostage there. Harker escapes after a series of horrifying events, and Dracula makes it his mission to go after the young lawyer — and his lovely fiancé, Mina, and Mina's friends.

With the assistance of an old teacher, Professor Abraham Van Helsing, the tide turns against Dracula with Van Helsing chasing the Count back to his Transylvania castle, where the ultimate battle takes place.

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.

Настроение: haunting · dark Темп: medium-paced

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!

Настроение: cozy Темп: medium-paced Фокус: character-driven

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...
