About
The Dracula mythology has inspired a vast subculture, but the story has never been better told than by Bram Stoker. His myth is powerful because it allows evil to remain mysterious. The high virtue of Lucy can simply be drained away, like her blood, and scientific skill cannot resist the dreadful potency of the undead. Only the old magic is effective against the Count's appalling power.

Reviews
"One of the most powerful horror tales ever written."
Malcolm Bradbury, English author and academic
"In seeking a parallel to this weird, powerful, and horrorful story our mind reverts to such tales as The Mysteries of Udolpho, Frankenstein, The Fall of the House of Usher…but Dracula is even more appalling in its gloomy fascination than any one of these."
Daily Mail
"Whitfield's competence is apparent in the retelling of Dracula. He wisely eschews over-dramatization, despite the horror story's emotional extremes, resulting in a performance that generates even more impact for this classic."
Media
"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"
