Dracula

Amalie Elisabeth

How blessed are some people, whose lives have no fears, no dreads; to whom sleep is a blessing that comes nightly, and brings nothing but sweet dreams.

They say that people who are near death die generally at the change to the dawn or at the turn of the tide; any one who has when tired, and tied were to his post, experienced this change in the atmosphere can well believe it.

The view was magnificent, and from where I stood there was every opportunity of seeing it. The castle is on the very edge of a terrible precipice. A stone falling from the window would fall a thousand feet without touching anything! As far as the eye can reach is a sea of green tree-tops, with occasionally a deep rift where there is a chasm.

to think that the spirits of those lost at sea were touching their living brethren with the clammy hands of death, and many a one shuddered as the wreaths of sea- mist swept by.

The red sunlight was shining on the windows of St Mary's Church behind our seat, and as the sun dipped there was just sufficient change in the refraction and reflection to make it appear as if the light moved

The blood is the life! The blood is the life!

and so, as you love me, and he loves me, and I love you with all the moods and tenses of the verb, I send you simply his love' instead. Goodbye, my dearest Lucy, and all blessings on you.

If it should be, and he came to London, with its teeming millions.

He will not be back tonight; for the sky is reddening in the east, and the dawn is close.

Nadie sabe lo dulce y bienvenida que es la mañana a los ojos y el corazón, hasta que ha sufrido los terrores de la noche. 

Alex J Wolfgang

Scrivo questa pagina di diario mentre aspetto la corriera, che ovviamente è in ritardo, ho ancora il crocefisso al collo. Sarà per via del terrore di quell'anziana donna, o per le spirali tradizioni di questo paese, o per il crocifisso, non saprei proprio, ma mi sento più freddo del solito. Se questo diario dovesse arrivare a Mina prima di me, le porterà il mio addio.

<<Benvenuto nella mia casa! Entrate liberamente, di vostra spontanea volontà!>>

<<Benvenuto nella mia casa. Siete libero di entrare e di andarvene senza alcun rischio, lasciando un po' della felicità che portate con voi!>>

Ho sentito dire che le persone in punto di morte spirano all'alba, o quando cambiano le maree: chiunque, stanco e obbligato a rimanere al proprio posto, abbia sperimentato questo cambiamento nell'atmosfera, può ben credere che sia vero.

Il mio dubbio era se un incubo potesse essere più terribile della mostruosa atmosfera di tenebra e mistero che sembrava chiudersi su di me.

Lucy si è addormentata e respira dolcemente. Ha le guance più colorite del solito e oh, è cosi bella. Se il signor Holmwood si è innamorato di lei solo vedendola in un salotto, mi chiedo che cosa direbbe se la vedesse in questo momento.

Che cosa significa tutto questo? Sto iniziando a chiederni se la mia lunga abitudine a vivere tra i pazzi non abbia cominciato ad avere effetto sulla mia stessa mente.

Genius and masterfully organized. It’s a slow burn and very heart-wrenching - not at all like the classic horror I was originally expecting. It became one of my favorites very quickly!

I can only describe this book as a Chaotic Gothic Horror. For it to be called Dracula we sure dont know much abt the dude. At times I found the story of the secondary characters redundant and unnecessary. It was good but it's one of the classics that I won't be rereading.

es bueno pero si me costo bastantito llegar a la mitad porque lo sentí lento

It was solid but it took a minuteeeeee to get interesting. It’s already a thick book so I think a lot of it could’ve been cut back. But I did like the letter/diary entry format. It always makes me feel like I’m reading other people’s private business.

It's a vibe and then it drags on, no wonder I gave up on the first try. And definitely not a feminist book!!

Probablya 3, but gave it 3,5 for some very vibrant, atmospheric parts. Sometimes during the first half I have to say I experienced it as being too long or meandering. A classic is a classic, so for me that has to be judged on its own scale, and as far as this one goes a very good one. A lot of aspects of the book is very of it's time ofc (in terms of religiosity, morality and some frank racism). Not as bad as some, better than most in that regard (as in, written before the 1900's). Suspenseful and charismatic.

Me gustó mucho esta historia, disfruté la lectura aunque a veces la sentía un poco lenta.

Creo que soy fan del formato de cartas y diarios, le da una capa más de realismo el sentir que estoy leyendo un registro más que un relato de corrido. Sé que no es del gusto de todos, pero a mí me acomoda bastante. También fue muy interesante conocer los puntos de vista y experiencias de varios personajes en vez de solo leer el de un protagonista!!! 

Mis partes favoritas fueron las explicaciones de los vampiros y sus habilidades, sus poderes, su historia. Mi interés por los vampiros no deja de crecer. Obviamente cuando comencé mi lectura pensé que sería centrada en Drácula, así que sentí un poco de decepción cuando entendí que no sería así.

Además, hace poco vi Nosferatu (2025) y creo que haber terminado de leer este libro poco tiempo antes hizo que disfrutara cada pequeño detalle de la película (tal vez lo habría disfrutado incluso más si hubiera visto las películas anteriores, pero eso queda para otro día).

No hay que ignorar los niveles brutales de misoginia en esta historia, en esto queda muy plasmado en su época, en un mal sentido. Los personajes femeninos a veces parecían payasos actuando como lo que un hombre quiere que sea una mujer. En ese sentido fue muy aburrido, pero lo tomé con humor y me reí cada vez que decían cosas raras sobre las mujeres o cuando decían que Mina era parecida a un hombre debido a su inteligencia.

it was definitely enjoyable, but a little slow paced for me

The Penguin English Library Edition of Dracula by Bram Stoker 'Alone with the dead! I dare not go out, for I can hear the low howl of the wolf through the broken window' A chilling masterpiece of the horror genre, Dracula also illuminated dark corners of Victorian sexuality. When Jonathan Harker visits Transylvania to advise Count Dracula on a London home, he makes a horrifying discovery. Soon afterwards, a number of disturbing incidents unfold in England: an unmanned ship is wrecked at Whitby; strange puncture marks appear on a young woman's neck; and the inmate of a lunatic asylum raves about the arrival of his 'Master', while a determined group of adversaries prepares to face the terrifying Count. The Penguin English Library - 100 editions of the best fiction in English, from the eighteenth century and the very first novels to the beginning of the First World War.

So I planned to read this during October as a little Halloween book, but I also started uni so it’s ok lmao.

This story was incredibly intriguing, I loved the characters so much, especially my lovely girl Mina, and the way you get to experience the story through all the diary entries of the characters, the newspaper articles etc. 

Although I expected to learn more about Dracula himself and also the ending felt a bit rushed on the last pages, it was so, so good.

I read the graphic novel! Very good, sometimes hard to understand since it is a kind of old english but a very good story overall!

Finally finished. No clue why this took me two months to finish? Extremely odd bro. But. What a book. You can clearly see how our version of Dracula that we use in our movies and books and stuff stems directly from this gross pale thin white creature. Honestly the way Dracula is described in this made me feel sick and I really felt for Jonathan harker because Dracula just sounded so gross and he just seemed like he smelt so bad 💀 Stoker definitely needed a lesson on how to condense his story a little bit because why was this book 450 pages with the tiniest font possible? I feel like twenty percent of the plot could have been completely eradicated and wouldn’t have impacted the book, perceptions or end point at all. Also, there was quite a lot of characters in this, which is fairs but I’d hardly recommend having so many characters because it starts to get so confusing. Also, the way it’s narrated through journal entries and letters for the entire book is quite interesting too, honestly I’ve seen other gothic novellas like Frankenstein incorporate letters but not for the entire book, I don’t know whether I like it or not but it’s quite a unique way of narrating it. I’m not giving its rating because I always struggle to rate classics because of their different writing style and form.

No home library is complete without the classics! Dracula is a keepsake to be read and treasured. 2013 IBPA Benjamin Franklin Award Gold Winner in Cover Design - Small Format (Fiction) Irish author Bram Stoker introduced the character of Count Dracula and provided the basis of modern vampire fiction in his 1897 novel entitled Dracula. Written as a series of letters, newspaper clippings, diary entries, and ships’ logs, the story begins with lawyer Jonathan Harker journeying to meet Dracula at his remote castle to complete a real estate transaction. Harker soon discovers that he is being held prisoner, and that Dracula has a rather disquieting nocturnal life. Touching on themes such as Victorian culture, immigration, and colonialism, among others, this timeless classic is sure to keep readers on the edge of their seats! Now available as part of the Word Cloud Classics series, Dracula is a must-have addition to the libraries of all classic literature lovers. About the Word Cloud Classics series: Classic works of literature with a clean, modern aesthetic!

I can see how in it’s time Dracula was a scary revolutionary book. I can also see how it has shaped modern literature and pop culture. However, I went into this book thinking that I would learn more about Dracula and his origin while I did learn some about how he came to be it was still not really what I was looking for. In this book you can see the original vampire hunting group as well as how many horror movies have taken pieces away from the story with leaving one character alone with a killer on the loose.

It bored me in the beginning (got a couple good nights rest out of it +1 star) but I enjoyed it overall.

Would say one of my favourite books! Really long but so worth it.

Finally met Edward Cullen's great ancestor! But in all seriousness, I now understand why Dracula is the progenitor of all evils. Unlike modern-day villains that saturate mass media, this vampire has no gray area. Stoker never provides an instance wherein Dracula might merit respect because the distinction is clear—he definitely belongs to the dark side. Regarding his characterization, I find it interesting how despite his heartlessness and bloodlust, Dracula is somewhat humanized. Save for his sharp teeth and red eyes, he is depicted as an charismatic, genteel, and aristocratic man.

This book was SO long, though, and it was honestly draining to read. Some parts were overtly redundant, and I felt that the ending was quite anticlimactic. After all those pages of intense buildup, Stoker capped it off so quickly. Nevertheless, it was an entertaining and gruesome read; the author did not shy away from portraying bloodlust. I also found its epistolary rendering effective because we witnessed the story unfold through the perspectives of different characters. 

Dracula being a hallmark of Gothic fiction is well-deserved.

Amo fuerte, pero igual, si estuviéramos comparando, Frankenstein le pasa el trapo en todo sentido.

Paoovi

Drácula siempre será uno de los mejores títulos, el mítico vampiro de Transilvania (desde mi perspectiva) en cada lectura y aún con El Paso del tiempo se regenera.

I really liked the story, but found the form quite hard to get through

Lili

I understand that it’s iconic but the diary entries are sooooo tiring I mean just stick to one pov or two if you want but I got so confused in the end
