Summary
Brought to you by Penguin.
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.

Terrific!
I loved every second of this. The narration is excellent. The telling of the story from the different diary entries works like a charm. Its engaging, suspensful and terriying in places. My heart dared not to beat at a normal pace the whole time i was listening. I highly recommend, definitely one everyone should read at least once.

A classic
A classic book that has been brought to life beautifully, the characterisations of Mena and Van Helsing were just fabulous.

A True Classic
An absolute triumph. It took me far too long to listen/read Dracula and I’m so glad this is now rectified. One of the best stories ever told. Mark Gatiss is outstanding and had me hooked with all voices and differences in characters and lends his eerie charisma in heaps. A must listen

excellent!
This version of such a well know book had a lot to live up to , and it did it very well.
The narrative was perfect , with Mark Gates been able to put on slight inflictions and ascents to make it clear as to who was speaking.
The story has a easy to follow pace and is told for the greater part from each characters diary and so seeing it from their perspective each time.
I highly recommend this book

Superb narrator
I’ve read this old favourite a couple of times- such a good yarn!
Mark Gatiss is superb- although I always listen to the sample before purchasing as the narrator can make or break- he exceeded expectations.
Classic escapism!

An epic
I really enjoyed this book. Stoker put together a tense story expertly transmitted on audible. A classic not to be missed - so much more meaningful than the film.

Just perfect.
I knew that the narrator, Mark Gatiss, is a fan of the gothic style, but I wondered whether he would be too over the top in narrating this. However, he did a wonderful job, pitched just right. His narration is so good that I frequently forgot I was listening to just one person. Gatiss seems to have a real respect for the material and brings out all the nuances which can be missed when focusing on the horror part of the story. I would definitely buy more audio books by this narrator.
