Publisher's summary

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 since its publication. Required listening for any fan of the genre!

With more than 200 adaptations and reimaginings of Dracula, it can be difficult to know where to get started.

Poor Narrator

Marc Nelson's narrating is very grating, so much so that I have stopped listening halfway through to purchase another version by a different narrator. Mr. Nelson's voice is high and mostly monotone with only very slight variations. He uses a slightly higher pitch for female characters. The only other distinction he makes between characters is to give Dracula, Van Helsing, and some minor characters accents. He also has odd and unnecessary pauses, which makes the reading very halting. Apparently this is so significant that his version is a full 2 hours longer than the other unabridged version I've just purchased. I'm currently only about 5 hours in, and I can't imagine spending 11 more hours listening to this. This is not worth even $3. I feel like I should apologize to Mr. Nelson for such a harsh review, but since this appears to be the only audiobook he has narrated (or at least the only book available on Audible), I suspect he already knows that narration is not his true calling.

This story gave me diarrhea!

What disappointed you about Dracula?

I never realized that the entire story was completely composed of excerpts from all the characters diaries. Makes me wonder as to how the character Dracula became so famous?! Reviews should have pointed that out... It is 100% readings from diaries. No story. No action. Just Diary! Hence Diar--rhea
