And I claimed that Dracul looks like it won’t disappoint.

I mentioned in my ‘6 books to give you a fright this Halloween’ post that this was the book I was going to be reading leading up to the big day. The tale he tells is an extraordinary and terrifying one: of a Dublin childhood full of sickness and starvation, of a mysterious woman, of those presumed dead who live again, of stories once thought fables but now found to be true.Īnd all the while this manifestation of evil taunts him, calls to him, tries to trick him into releasing it upon the world…ĭracul is the definition of a page-turner Stoker knows time is short and so he hurriedly writes down the disturbing events that have brought him to this point. On the other side of that door there waits an ungodly nightmare that he hoped had ended years before.

The year is 1868, and twenty-one-year-old Bram Stoker has barricaded himself in a room at the top of the tower of a long-abandoned abbey. If I could summarise Dracul by Dacre Stoker and J.D.
