I actually found this on an online comics site, where it was presented as a standalone. So I had no idea that this wasn't a fully developed story, but that it was supposed to be a comic book adaptation of Bram Stoker's "Dracula's Guest" (which was originally supposed to be Dracula's second chapter.)

So that, in combination with the change of the title (why not keep the original title?) made me think that I would read something else than I ended up reading.

I originally thought that I'd read some story inspired by Dracula or something. So imagine my surprise when the comic book ended around page 15? 20? Without any real closure and plot having happened.

It wasn't a bad comic per se, but it was like reading the ripped up pages of someone's book, and they left much to be desired!

I found out that the same people who are behind this, have also done a comic book adaptation of the actual Dracula book, so I may check that one out, and let's hope that I'll enjoy it.

If you made it that far, congratulations!
'Til next time, take care :) :) :)
