About this listen

Brought to you by Penguin.

This Penguin Classic is narrated by Mark Gatiss, who also wrote the screen play for the critically acclaimed BBC adaptation. Gatiss has also had an extensive acting career including roles in Sherlock, which he wrote alongside Steven Moffat, The League of Gentlemen and Wolf Hall.

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 shipis 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.

A really good performance of an old classic-Mark Gatiss brings real humanity to the text in so many different accents and characters it’s really impressive. Despite having read it multiple times, I ended up binging it in great chunks to share the next part of the character’s journey, which is not bad given how much time I spent heckling the blokes for terrible decision-making!! 😂

Honestly, it’s a cracking performance though, and I’ll be keeping an eye out for further audiobooks narrated by Mark Gatiss because this one was very, very good. Great stuff!

Epic work from Mark Gatiss. Recommended!

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.

An epic
