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.

An exciting and creepy October read
I feel as though this book is best read in October, without fully knowing what's going to happen. All the beats just hit different when you have the spooky vibes so readily available. I loved how Dracula's Castle was described, and I thought for a really long time that one of the characters had just died. It reminded me a little of Stranger Things, the way all the information is divided up between everyone and you can't make a plan of action until everyone finally shares the information. That being said, it dragged on a little bit, and some of the plot points I found most interesting weren't explored so much. The ending was great, but slightly anti-climactic.
