I think this manga version gave me an even better understanding of the book than the previous comic version I read, and was much more engaging than the original novel.

I've read this before as the book. This manga was from a copy from the library and was in PDF format so I couldn't read it very well. The story was good, it had the main points and added narration to it. The only downside I had was the format I read it in.

I read Dracula the same year I read this manga. The pacing of the manga does the text a great service by removing much of the prose that makes it so difficult for many readers to get through and therefore expediting the action, while the art retains, and in many cases, enhances the dread and horror of Dracula. Both Bram's text and the manga are excellent and though the original is very slow paced, it still has my recommendation. Likewise, I recommend this manga for those who want to read Dracula but find they are unable, or those who enjoy manga.
