Dracula
2 journalers for this copy...
Dracula is a unique horror masterpiece and the most famous of all vampire tales.
Few readers will ever forget the nightmare atmosphere of Count Dracula's inister castle in Transylvania, the prowlings of the Un-dead, the blood-curdling tension as Bram Stoker's tale races towards a thrilling climax.
Dracula recounts the struggle of a group of men and a woman -Dr. Seward, Dr. Van Helsing and Jonathan Harker and his wife Mina- to destroy the vampire, whose sinister earth-filled coffins are discovered by Harker ini a ruined chapel adjoining Dr. Seward's asylum. Cruel and noble, evilly and fatally deesirable to women, Dracula possesses a terrifying lust for power and, like Dr. Jekyll or Conan Doyle's Moriarty, is one of the immortal fictional monsters.

Will start this by the end of the week as virtually finished Nick Hornby's A Long Way Down (undecided on whether I'll Cross that).
Journal Entry 5 by Beatfienduk from Edinburgh, Scotland United Kingdom on Tuesday, December 12, 2006
Virtually finished this & clear to see why it's still a classic. Obviously rather dated in the slightly patronising way women are portrayed in it. Given how little The Count himself actually appears in it & the limited dialogue he has from roundabout the 70th page I doubt a fully accurate rendering of the novel has ever made it to the screen, big or small, but then maybe that's no bad thing.
No release zone chosen yet but will probbly set free in early 2007.
