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.
Dracula was actually quite nice to read. At first, the story advanced quite slowly in my opinion, but towards the middle it became faster. Sometimes the story haunted me in the night, but fortunately this was not that bad and it never lasted long.

I'd forgotten just how much fun Dracula is, and how wonderfully creepy it is in places, despite the rather forced epistolary style and the somewhat anti-climactic ending.
Dracula is a fine book with some exception scenes. It does have some ridiculous ones too, though.
One thing to note is the hot paprika-laced dish in chapter 1 that leaves Jonathan Harker thirsty and awake all night. Foreshadowing from page 2. LOL.
