About this ebook
Jonathan Harker, a young English lawyer, travels to Castle Dracula in the Eastern European country of Transylvania to conclude a real estate transaction with a nobleman named Count Dracula. As Harker wends his way through the picturesque countryside, the local peasants warn him about his destination, giving him crucifixes and other charms against evil and uttering strange words that Harker later translates into "vampire." Frightened but no less determined, Harker meets the count's carriage as planned. The journey to the castle is harrowing, and the carriage is nearly attacked by angry wolves along the way. Upon arriving at the crumbling old castle, Harker finds that the elderly Dracula is a well educated and hospitable gentleman. After only a few days, however, Harker realizes that he is effectively a prisoner in the castle.

I'm more of a fan of werewolves; vampires haven't really been my cup of tea, but I made this year's resolution to read classics and this month's turn was Dracula. I've never seen any of the movies but I'm familiar with the story obviously. The novel was way more interesting than I had expected, I was especially hooked during the beginning with Jonathan's journals at Castle Dracula & the first stalkings of Dracula on poor Lucy. The ending could have been less anti climactic but really a superb classic novel.

Once you realize how much the movies all are different, this is a great adventure.
