I signed up for this as a joke but ended up becoming a die-hard Dracula fan. I did not expect this book to be as fun as it was. I genuinely loved all of the characters so much and highly recommend this version of the book to people who have never read Dracula (and to people who have). It was challenging to keep up with all the emails (this version stretches the book out over the course of about 6 months) but I was so invested I knew I had to see it through. I WILL be participating again this year and cannot wait for Dracula Daily 2023.

It's considered a classic for a reason. The pace is slow in the beginning but once it gets going the story is everything you'd want in a book. The story is told through a collection of journal entries from different characters pov. I usually find stories like this confusing to read but this time it had me feeling more involved. It's like I was helping the characters piece the puzzle together to figure out what the hell the count was. I really enjoyed it and Bram Stroker created the blueprint for every other vampire story we have now.
