Dracula by Bram Stoker

Read: June 5-15, 2011

pages: 492


Great read! I was a bit disappointed with the ending because there is a considerable amount of build up and I really expected a confrontation with Dracula, but there was nothing. Dracula was disposed of and that was the end of it. All was well again. I'll likely revisit the novel again. It has that gothic feel to it that would make it a perfect Halloween/Octoberish Fall read.

Below is a picture of Bran Castle in Romania. This is on the border between Transylvania and Wallachia. Bran Castle is marketed as the home of Bram Stoker's Dracula however there is no evidence to prove that Stoker knew anything of the castle in particular. The image below is just eerie with that cloudy sky above. Great picture and a great visual for the story location.
