After a lifetime of hearing the name Dracula, especially at Halloween, it finally occurred to me to read the original, by Bram Stoker. (This was in part because I'd received a Nook last Christmas, and this is one of the many titles that are public domain.)

Anyway, I was impressed that such horror was dreamed up in the late 1800's. The story is told by way of journal entries and letters in a style that now seems quaint, and some of the tone, especially that of Belgian professor Van Helsing, is flowery, wordy, and overly dramatic. His journal has a thick accent, as well, which makes for slower reading.

The story comes together quite well, and the imagery is successfully creepy. This tale is also a very religious one, which isn't surprising, given that everyone knows how a vampire abhors a crucifix. Still, it is more overtly Christian than I …

Before the Twilight series there were stories about Vampires that actually were good. The most famous of these was the story of Dracula by Bram Stoker. Structurally it is an epistolary novel, that is, told as a series of letters, diary entries, ships’ logs, etc. Literary critics have examined many themes in the novel, such as the role of women in Victorian culture, conventional and conservative sexuality, immigration, colonialism, postcolonialism and folklore. Although Stoker did not invent the vampire, the novel’s influence on the popularity of vampires has been singularly responsible for many theatrical, film and television interpretations throughout the 20th and 21st centuries.

This book was a long one and at times I admit to struggling with it. I was very interested in the origins of Dracula, but I think there was so much involved in this book that at times I don’t think I enjoyed reading it. Overall …

It's better to know everything from the original, the book that created the most famous character on the Horror Litherature, and know the strange peculiarities that this character possess. I've seen the Coppola movie, based on this book, and to learn the real story from the movie is something that you should try for yourself.

The first part of Dracula is absolutely amazing. I read the book when I was a college film student, and I used to think about how I would film the book, and mainly I thought about those two chapters. I know just how I would film the first chapter with Dracula. I know how I would film the chapter in which the woman keeps mysteriously losing blood (modernized, so it could happen in a hospital, a striking contrast to the first scene in the crumbling castle.

As for the rest of the book, I figured I'd hire a writer to come up with something, because outside of the wonderful scenes with Renfield, there is nothing in the rest of the book worth filming, or reading.

Stoker created a great villain in Dracula, but after that first chapter he seems to have lost interest in him; Dracula is spoken of more …
