Oops! Sorry. I really liked it. I don't think it was the first vampire story ever written but I was impressed how well Stoker fleshed out the milieu, validating vampirism in one literary quantum leap as a genre if not actually creating it. And it was an excellent, exciting story to boot. (SPOILER ALERT!) The ways of killing a vampire didn't always seem to jive. Most of the time the required implement of destruction was a wooden stake but Dracula himself was done in with a Bowie knife.:confused: Something was said about sacred bullets being effective...perhaps the knife was forged in a dark corner of the Alamo.
Some people don't like Dracula but that's normal. Can't please everyone. But I wouldn't hesitate recommending it. Next Halloween I think I'll try Dr. Jekyll and Mr. Hyde.
