Dracula by Bram Stoker

Dracula

by Bram Stoker

A dreary castle, blood-thirsty vampires, open graves at midnight, and other gothic touches fill this chilling tale about a young Englishman's confrontation with the evil Count Dracula. A horror romance as deathless as any vampire, the blood-curdling tale still continues to hold readers spellbound a century later.

I first read this book over 10 years ago in college. I picked it up again as I had started reading the new sequel, but felt my memory of the original story being challenge.

After ripping through the Twilight series and the Sookie Stackhouse series, it was nice to go back to one of the original vampire books and see where some of the legends and myths began.

A challenging read, but well worth it to get back to the source material.

Oh, and Dracula does walk during the daytime on at least 2 occasions on Stoker's novel. But, he doesn't sparkle.
