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.
If I could have given half stars, it would have gotten 3.5 stars this time. It reads like a history book - I had forgotten! And the language is old, and it's a very slow read. However, it's always interesting to read the beginning of vampire novels. And very funny the way the men felt about women at those times.
