Dracula

Not So Thick Or Large Book But The design Is Nice , And It has a Shade to the Papers Which gives an Old Literature reading Feel . And Overall It is A great Book and I love it.

While reading a horror novel, one thing I can never get tired of, is a dark and dangerous creature. And of all the dark creatures I've ever read, Dracula is the one which fascinates me the most. I watched all the versions of Dracula in cinema, but never read the book before. So I decided to give this book a try and I was and am still in awe of what a masterpiece this book is. About the plot, it has multiple narratives and all the narratives converge at a single person, Count Dracula. The novel begins with Jonathan Harker arriving in Transylvania to facilitate Count Dracula in purchasing property in London. He is trapped in the castle while Dracula travels to London. In London, Lucy Westenra , suddenly becomes pale but the cause of her blood loss isn't known. A ship with no crew or passenger arrives at docks. And Renfield, a mental patient of Dr. Seward begins acting strange. All these incidents point to Count Dracula. Dr. Van Helsing, mentor of Dr. Seward, finds out that Dracula is undead and is trying to create an army of vampires. How Van Helsing and his group of Vampire Hunters ( they don't call themselves that, but I do coz it sounds cool) defeat Dracula is the whole plot. This book is the best horror novel I've ever read. The initial chapters describing Jonathan Harker's arrival and escape attempts are the finest piece of writing which influences horror authors even now. The book is in epistolary format which is perfect for multiple narratives through multiple protagonists. I've found some reviews criticising the repetition of certain things but this book was written through the letters and journals of multiple narrators so how each one perceives a same incident causes a sense of repetition. This book should be read by every horror fan (like me). This book created a legacy which is timeless. I cannot put a number to that. It's perfect. P.S. - of all the movie adaptations, 1931 version is the best. I'm watching it now.

This is a truly handsome and sturdy edition of the classic. Very well bound and crafted with a uniquely etched leather-like cover. Nice paper and comfortable fonts. I am deducting 1 star as this book was delivered slightly damaged and scratched thanks to the use of paper envelopes for the delivery of books , without any protection.

My daughter loves it!

Happy with the font size and paper. However, the book could have better packaging. It had a few scratches and dents on the cover. It came without any protective wrapping in a big box. So it must have gotten bumped a lot.

Oh my god! I freakin love the book, so cool and so good to read, i eyes were glued and every second i was Thinking ' whats happening next now? ' amazing book for horror lovers as i am ❤❤❤

As stated in title, this book was a sweet read. Got it in a great condition, Sadly there wasn’t any bookmark but I just made a customised one for this book, so it’s just nitpicking from my part. The story was told from different narratives of different characters through their journals/Diaries, Revealing of some twists were done smoothly and in an interesting way, Dr. Seward’s narrative was personally my favourite. Great book, totally recommend it if you have a interest in reading cause’ it got some older, classy style of writing.

The four stars now belonging to this book is dedicated to the creativity and imagination of the author. His work has really made me understand the true meaning of a vampire and what it really does. This book is about a man named Jonathan who visits a man known as Dracula for business in London. Nobody knows anything about this man and people are quite afraid of him and the place he lives in. Jonathan though,shows the determination and courage to enter into the strangest world he has ever seen. This book gets exciting when Jonathan gets trapped in Dracula 's lonely castle with three other bloodthirsty women for company. Join Jonathan and his family in an adventure they don't know about. A story about ghosts,spirits and vampires is just what you need to fill your day with. This is a book that adolescents will truly enjoy.
