  • I read this novel for an English Lit class in College. It's a great classic story that explains the mystery behind Dracula himself... sort of. Every story you read or see on screen portrays the Dracula myth differently but nonetheless its always a good one!

  • I first read this in 8th grade - and was completely hooked. It started my obsession with vampires. I've read it at least twice since then. I'm not sure I can quite explain it, but it's just sort of a sentimental favorite for me... though I rather wonder what that says about me, LOL.

  • Great book. I enjoyed this more than Frankenstein. On a completely crazy sidenote, The same night i finished this book, i ended killing a bat that had gotten into my upstairs neighbors apartment. Who needs a wooden stake? One quick overhand smash with a tennis racket seemed to do the trick.

  • The biggest problem with this book now is that the legend has now preceded the story for every reader, removing the suspense and twists from the book. It is still a great novel, but one of the ultimate spoiled twists in literature.

Dracula is perhaps almost as interesting regarded historically as the product of a specific time as it is engaging to continuing generations of readers in a 'timeless' fashion. In her introduction Byron first discusses the famous novel as an expression not of universal fears and desires but of specifically late nineteenth-century concerns. At the same time she is entirely attuned to the ways in which, however much Dracula is a Victorian text, Dracula is a very twentieth-century character, a representative of modernity and of the future.
