Review by Sarah Weinman, eMusic
It was only supposed to be a simple real estate transaction.
With so many variations on the theme "vampire" to be found at your local bookstore, it's all too easy to forget what started this bloodsucking phenomenon — and how Bram Stoker's 1897 opus was more about the interactions of its characters than about the idiosyncrasies of vampire lore. Written as a series of letters, Dracula is told primarily from the point of view of Englishman Jonathan Harker, caught in the Count's web of nocturnal activities after a visit to the Carpathian mountain castle for a simple real estate transaction. The mad acolyte Renfield and the vampire hunter Van Helsing are just a few of whom Harker encounters in his increasingly terrifying adventure, made more so when his fiancee Mina catches Dracula's eye — and lands herself in danger. Richard E. Grant gives the appropriate haughty touch to the novel that makes Harker's epistolary narration even more spine-tingling.
