Summary:
Jonathan Harker travels to a mysterious castle to meet with one Count Dracula. He discovers the reality that Dracula is a vampire who possesses supernatural powers. As Jonathan joins together with his love, Mina, and others–Professor Van Helsing, Dr. John Seward, and Arthur Holmwood–they take on the formidable Count Dracula and his minions.

Review:
Thrilling and fun. Dracula is such an iconic character and I understand why the book continues to be read and the character continues to be adapted and brought to the screen and in other works.
I actually really enjoyed the fact that the book is written as if it's a collection of gathered documents and journals, which tell the story and give insights into the relationships of these people.
Classic, beautifully written, can be a bit slow/sloggish sometimes, but good. One that I would gladly reread.
