Review: Dracul

Dracul by Dacre Stoker
My rating: 5 of 5 stars

Dracul is a marvelously rendered gothic novel about author Bram Stoker and the origins of the Dracula story. Capturing the epistolary feel of the original, Dracul is told in part by the journal entries of young Bram Stoker. The lush descriptive power of the real Bram Stoker's writing is perfectly emulated, recreating the same deeply creepy sensation found in Dracula. Author Dacre Stoker is the great grand-nephew of Bram Stoker.

Beautifully atmospheric. A perfect read for Halloween/Samhain.

The full cast audiobook of the novel is wonderful, as well.


I received a Digital Review Copy of this book from GP Putnam's Sons via the First to Read Program.
