Young, impressionable Aubrey is fascinated by the enigmatic Lord Ruthven, and accompanies him on a tour to Europe. But Aubrey develops a growing distaste for Lord Ruthven’s sinister and grotesque conduct - especially as it concerns human blood. This novella, penned during that tempestuous night in Switzerland amongst such notables as Percy Shelley, Lord Byron, and Mary Shelley, served as the great inspiration for Bram Stoker to create Dracula.

Awesome Classic By RLS
This was an old classic that I very much enjoyed, for a book published in the 1880's you would think that the language would be very dated, but that is not the case with this offering, very easy to read and understand. I love reading some of these old classics, and for .99 cents for the Kindle book and another .80 cents for the audible version you can not go wrong...B.J. Harrison did a fine job of narrating.

The narrator missed or changed a few words, some voices seemed a bit unnatural to me, but overall excellent.
