Title: The one and only
Review: Stoker's "Dracula" is the book that served as the foundation of the vampire legend that has since spread through the whole of western society. Written as a series of letters and journal entries in a quaint Victorian style, Stoker's work is heavily reminiscent of other authors of that time period, including Doyle and Poe.The vampire mythology that has sprung up over the last century has has greatly revamped the powers and weaknesses of Stoker's monster, the core remains. The dreaded Count Dracula leaves his Romanian castle to come to London, to search for the fresh blood he desires to quench his insatiable lust. A group of Englishmen must uncover the nature of the beast in order to destroy it and protect their loves.While the book seems somewhat more lengthy and wordy than need be, and its vampire seems almost tame in comparison to modern versions, it still serves as a great reminder how this all began.
