Classic Vampire Horror Novel
‘Dracula’ by Bram Stoker was written in 1897 and is a gothic horror book. ‘Dracula’ centres around the vampire, Count Dracula from Transylvania who buys a property in England and travels to England to start turning innocent woman into Vampires while seducing them and starts a killing spree. The story is written in diary and letter form by one of his victims, her husband and there group of friends who are focused on ridding the world of Count Dracula.
‘Dracula’ is a famous book and has become famous through film and television as well as it has had many adaptations over the years. I have seen adaptations including the 1931 film adaptation with Bela Lugosi but I have never read the book before. I actually really enjoyed this book, it was interesting and enjoyable to read the book in the form of letters and diary entries. I didn’t find the book particularly scary but I am a horror fan and when this book came out in 1897, I am sure with the period of time it came out, it was scarier. It may just be my taste, others may find the book scary, I just didn’t find it scary, I did really enjoy the book though.
