About
Of the many admiring reviews Bram Stoker's Dracula received when it first appeared in 1897, the most astute praise came from the author's mother, who wrote her son: "It is splendid. No book since Mrs. Shelley's Frankenstein or indeed any other at all has come near yours in originality, or terror."
A popular bestseller in Victorian England, Stoker's hypnotic tale of the bloodthirsty Count Dracula, whose nocturnal atrocities are symbolic of an evil ages old yet forever new, endures as the quintessential story of suspense and horror. The unbridled lusts and desires, the diabolical cravings that Stoker dramatized with such mythical force, render Dracula resonant and unsettling a century later.

"Narrators Samuel James, Billie Fulford-Brown, Imogen Wilde, and Johnny Heller provide accents ranging from British to Romanian to American in this tale of vampires and intrigue. The story is told through the journals and letters of the main characters. An appropriately British-accented Jonathan Harker arrives in Budapest, headed to Transylvania to meet the nobleman Count Dracula. He stays at the Count's castle, where he's plagued by nightmares and insomnia, a state dramatized by the quick pace of the narration. The race across the continent to stop Dracula ensues. Letters from the female characters are appropriately narrated by female narrators, with Mina Harker's journal voiced by Billie Fulford-Brown. American and other accents help to round out the characters in this literary classic. S.E.G. � AudioFile 2025, Portland, Maine"
