Dracula Daily by Matt Kirkland was a funny and interesting take on the classic Dracula story by Bram Stoker. I thought the journal entries by date idea was inventive and it made the story feel more realistic. I absolutely loved all of the commentary and pictures that were included as part of the project! This was so much fun to read and helped me fall back in love with an old favorite.

I really enjoyed reading the Dracula Daily emails as it spaced the story out of the course of about six months. One of my favorite aspects was the fan art and tweets that the community added about each email, and I was so glad that this book found a way to bring that context to this version of the novel. It's a fun way to experience Dracula.

Thanks to netgalley and the publisher for an ARC in exchange for an honest review.
