Title: a BIG disappointment!
Review: I'm sorry, but this book does not deserve a good review. I am a big Gorey fan myself, but I was greatly disappointed when I received my copy - not because the illustrations are bad, but because there practically aren't any! The only real illustrations are the front and rear endsheets, and the title page. But other than that there are just a few simple caricatures of the main characters, that introduce some of the chapters here and there. I don't know exactly what I was expecting - perhaps a handful of full-page illustrations depicting characters or scenes from the novel. I thought that was what an "illustrated" novel was. And Gorey's style is absolutely appropriate for Dracula. But there is just nothing there, and this book is a rip-off.
Is the review positive or negative?
