Dracula (Wordsworth Classics)

Introduction and Notes by Dr David Rogers, Kingston University.

'There he lay looking as if youth had been half-renewed, for the white hair and moustache were changed to dark iron-grey, the cheeks were fuller, and the white skin seemed ruby-red underneath; the mouth was redder than ever, for on the lips were gouts of fresh blood, which trickled from the corners of the mouth and ran over the chin and neck. Even the deep, burning eyes seemed set amongst the swollen flesh, for the lids and pouches underneath were bloated. It seemed as if the whole awful creature were simply gorged with blood; he lay like a filthy leech, exhausted with his repletion.'

Thus Bram Stoker, one of the greatest exponents of the supernatural narrative, describes the demonic subject of his chilling masterpiece Dracula, a truly iconic and unsettling tale of vampirism.

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.
