Dracula (Penguin Clothbound Classics)

Part of Penguin's beautiful hardback Clothbound Classics series, designed by the award-winning Coralie Bickford-Smith, these delectable and collectible editions are bound in high-quality colourful, tactile cloth with foil stamped into the design When Jonathan Harker visits Transylvania to help Count Dracula with the purchase of a London house, he makes a series of horrific discoveries about his client. Soon afterwards, various bizarre incidents unfold in England: an apparently unmanned ship is wrecked off the coast of Whitby; a young woman discovers strange puncture marks on her neck; and the inmate of a lunatic asylum raves about the 'Master' and his imminent arrival. In Dracula, Bram Stoker created one of the great masterpieces of the horror genre, brilliantly evoking a nightmare world of vampires and vampire hunters and also illuminating the dark corners of Victorian sexuality and desire.

I liked it but not nearly as much as I thought I would. There were some parts that were very intense and I'm certainly happy that I picked it up and read it.

Just finished Dracula by Bram Stoker and wow—what a wild ride. I didn’t expect to enjoy it as much as I did, but the gothic vibes, creepy atmosphere, and journal-style storytelling really pulled me in. Count Dracula is eerie without even showing up in every scene, and the tension builds in such a unique way. I can totally see why this book is a classic—it still holds up. Definitely recommend if you’re into vampires, suspense, or just want to read the story that started it all.
