As we'll be reading this book between now and Nov. (ie over Halloween) I thought it would be fun to read some classic Horror. The novel itself is ~370 pages. There are about 9 different copies available at the library, all of different editions. Whichever one you choose, just make sure it is unabriged/not-edited. Happy reading, and don't get too scared.
Summary:
The classic tale of the bizarre Carpathian count, who drank human blood to stay alive, and the Englishman who knew his secret.
Review:
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.'
