5.0

Dracula remains my favourite classic. I will be taking no further questions. The epistolary format works so well and in my eyes makes this one of the most accessible classics to read. I had such a good time rereading this and then made my partner watch the film version with me (Keane Reeves/Gary Oldman version) and it was an absolute WILD ride.
