About this listen

Dracula is the seminal gothic horror novel of its time as Bram Stoker introduced the world to the legendary vampire Count Dracula.

Published in 1897 and told through a series of diary entries and letters, the story journeys into the dark world of Count Dracula through the eyes of several different narrators. The novel explores many themes, the role of women in Victorian culture, conventional and conservative sexuality, immigration, colonialism, post colonialism and folklore.

Irish author Abraham "Bram" Stoker (1847 - 1912) was writer of novels and short stories. He was also the personal assistant of the actor Henry Irving and the business manager of the Lyceum Theatre in London, which Irving owned.

This was undeniably excellent story telling and absolutely deserves to be considered a classic.
However the language is a bit of a struggle for a modern listener and I started to lose some interest part way through. Might have been easier to read rather than listen to.

Old fashioned horror story

Excellent, the best book of it's kind ever written.
All other vampire novels pale in comparison.

A new favourite

Dracula is a classic in every sense of the word - suspenseful, chilling, and even now, after all these vampire movies, cartoons and the creature's nature in pop culture - thoroughly original.

Christopher Saul is a very good reader, creating new voices for characters and being very easy to listen to, it is a shame he doesn't have more books to his credit.

Done as a series of journals and letters, the style of the book, only helps the audio narration.
There are little things in this reading that are strange to hear, such as page turnings and other noises. Whilst these would be distracting elsewhere, it actually helps the atmosphere and doesn't distract in the slightest.
One could argue against it's sexism, but it was a product of it's time, and ironically enough helps draw you into the time period.

This is a brilliant reading, and good value for money. I very much recommend it.

Very enjoyable to listen to.

Don't give up the day job Mr Stoker. This book is very difficult to follow. Whilst being excellent read the story cuts so many times between narratives that I easily got lost.

A Very Patchy and Difficult to Follow Book.
