    It's a unique way of telling a tale through letters and diary format. Kind of like seeing the inner dialogue of various characters, and I found it to be enjoyable and skillfully done.

    Dracula is on my list. It is a serious read, and my husband said it WAS the creepiest book he's ever read. He read it out loud to our son when he was old enough to appreciate it. It is a masterfully written story. No comparison to the movies. Read it, and stick with it.

    It's fine as long as you see it in light of various ideas that are part of studies in Gothic lit.

    Lovecraft, for example. With a name like Lovecraft, he was destined to be read. :P
