Summary

Dracula is the seminal gothic horror novel of its time as Bram Stoker introduced the world to the legendary vampire Count Dracula.

Published in 1897 and told through a series of diary entries and letters, the story journeys into the dark world of Count Dracula through the eyes of several different narrators. The novel explores many themes, the role of women in Victorian culture, conventional and conservative sexuality, immigration, colonialism, post colonialism and folklore.

Irish author Abraham "Bram" Stoker (1847 - 1912) was writer of novels and short stories. He was also the personal assistant of the actor Henry Irving and the business manager of the Lyceum Theatre in London, which Irving owned.

This was undeniably excellent story telling and absolutely deserves to be considered a classic.
However the language is a bit of a struggle for a modern listener and I started to lose some interest part way through. Might have been easier to read rather than listen to.

A new favourite

Very atmospheric, despite there being no music or spooky sounds to accompany the narrator. Very enjoyable, and good to get the full background instead of the usual summarised film versions I was brought up on.
