Dracula is an 1897 Gothic horror novel by Irish author Bram Stoker. Famous for introducing the character of the vampire Count Dracula, the novel tells the story of Dracula's attempt to move from Transylvania to England so he may find new blood and spread undead curse, and the battle between Dracula and a small group of men and women led by Professor Abraham Van Helsing. Dracula has been assigned to many literary genres including vampire literature, horror fiction, the gothic novel and invasion literature. The novel touches on themes such as the role of women in Victorian culture, sexual conventions, immigration, colonialism, and post-colonialism. Although Stoker did not invent the vampire, he defined its modern form, and the novel has spawned numerous theatrical, film and television interpretations
Customer Reviews
Pretty good!
Had to read this for a class, but hate reading if I’m forced to. The reader was pretty good for a 1 dollar audiobook, my only complaint is that her accent work was a little spotty at times. I also didn’t love when they said “end of chapter ***” and then immediately say “beginning of chapter ***”. It took me out of the story a bit. But, it’s literally a dollar so how much can I really complain. Honestly the content of the book was really good. It was a bit creepy and sparked morbid curiosity. I could see why the book has been a classic. I don’t feel like the book was hard to listen to at all, and didn’t feel dry. Be aware, it may feel like the tone shifts about 1/4 of the way through, but it’s only for like one chapter. Then it’s back to spooky.
TLDR: Great book, pretty good reader. Worth the dollar.
