Dracula

De: Bram Stoker

Narrado por: Patricia Allison, Rachel Atkins, Daisy Edgar-Jones, Jason Forbes, Theo James, Harry Myers, Himesh Patel, Jason Watkins, Richard Reed

When Jonathan Harker visits Transylvania to help Count Dracula with the purchase of a house in London, he soon discovers some strange and shocking things about his new client. And then some strange things start happening back in England: an apparently unmanned ship is wrecked off the coast of Whitby, a young woman discovers strange puncture marks on her neck and the inmate of a lunatic asylum raves about the 'Master' and his imminent arrival.

First published in 1897, Dracula is an epistolary novel, meaning that the narrative is related through letters, diary entries and newspaper articles. The story is brought to life in this Audible production by a group of actors that you might recognise from TV and film: Himesh Patel (Yesterday), Patricia Allison (Sex Education), Daisy Edgar-Jones (Normal People), Theo James (Divergent series) and Jason Watkins (The Crown).

If you’re in the mood for more gothic classics, check out The Strange Case of Dr Jekyll and Mr Hyde performed by Pappa Essiedu and Frankenstein performed by Jamie Bell.

Highly recommended

I read Dracula in High School, but that was over 40 years ago, and I had forgotten how very good this book is.
This audio performance was very enjoyable with several people reading parts. It was more like a radio show, without sound effects. I found it very entertaining.

Superb casting!

Such a classic, original story! I can hardly imagine a better cast of voices for the characters.

Very Atmospheric

You can feel yourself in the story. excellent cast and direction. spooky classic.

The single best audiobook and performance I have found.

I cannot rave enough about this, the listening experience is unmatched. The writing is exceptional and keeps me interested at every turn. The voice actors matched the characters very well in my opinion and they all did an excellent job of adding just the right amount of dramatic flare without making it cheesy. 10/10 audiobook.

The voice acting

I truly enjoyed the voice acting. It made me feel like I was there, and in the mind of the characters whenever they were doing their different logs of different events.
