It was beautifully written and to be honest, I loved every bit of it. I did not give it a full five stars because of the frequent misogyny and sexism but it is a victorian book, an exceptional one but still a product of its time.

I. Love. This. Book. 

I grew up loving gothic stories, especially those that included vampires. “Dracula” is truly just one of the best. For a story over a century old, it reads so easily. With lovable characters, an eerie setting, and an engaging plot, what’s there to go wrong???
