Uma das mais emblemáticas obras do terror, Drácula transcende as fronteiras do tempo. Publicado originalmente em 1897, esse romance revolucionou a figura do vampiro no imaginário popular e se tornou uma das obras mais conhecidas de todos os tempos. Aqui, o advogado Jonathan Harker viaja até a Transilvânia para tratar de negócios com o conde Drácula – figura temida pelos moradores da região. Ao longo dos acontecimentos registrados no diário de Harker, sua estadia ganha um aspecto cada vez mais assustador; e, junto a recortes de jornal, troca de cartas e telegramas, além de registros em outros diários, a obra descortina a sombria e assustadora essência dos vampiros, amplamente conhecida na modernidade. Considerado o mais bem-sucedido texto literário sobre vampiros, a obra atemporal de Bram Stoker tornou-se base para um subgênero inteiro de narrativas de horror, inspirando inclusive múltiplas adaptações em diversos idiomas para teatro, cinema e televisão.

I had never given classic horror a go before, but this one was a pleasant surprise. The original Dracula story was something I thought I knew, elements like Dracula’s castle and the power possessed by that monster make an appearance here, but despite what you might expect of the original vampire, the book is still filled with great characters and moments that were truly nerve-wracking.

I couldn’t help but read faster and faster at times where the tension raised up, hoping for it to end when it was only getting worse. But its not all bad, there is always hope, and the determination of the characters to defend their loved ones and the future of humanity from the reign of the un-dead, is just great, but a few moments of old English were a little hard to read.

I listened to different audiobooks while reading, which was quite atmospheric too. …
