This diary style book by Bram Stoker continues to put fear into the hearts of many who read it. Count Dracula after acquiring land in London near Carfax Abbey is wreaking havoc on innocents. Dr. Abraham Van Helsing recognizes the counts calling card and the hunt to destroy this centuries old vampire begins.
Essendo scritto come un diario, l'ho letto seguendo le date (da inizio maggio fino a ieri) e devo dire che è stata una bella esperienza, riesci a percepire lo scorrere del tempo degli eventi narrati.
Even if you think you know Dracula, this still holds up!
4 stars
I had never given classic horror a go before, but this one was a pleasant surprise. The original Dracula story was something I thought I knew, elements like Dracula’s castle and the power possessed by that monster make an appearance here, but despite what you might expect of the original vampire, the book is still filled with great characters and moments that were truly nerve-wracking.
I couldn’t help but read faster and faster at times where the tension raised up, hoping for it to end when it was only getting worse. But its not all bad, there is always hope, and the determination of the characters to defend their loved ones and the future of humanity from the reign of the un-dead, is just great, but a few moments of old English were a little hard to read.
I listened to different audiobooks while reading, which was quite atmospheric too. …
