About the author
Bram Stoker
2,598 books5,859 followersIrish-born Abraham Stoker, known as Bram, of Britain wrote the gothic horror novel
Dracula
(1897).
The feminist Charlotte Mathilda Blake Thornely Stoker at 15 Marino crescent, then as now called "the crescent," in Fairview, a coastal suburb of Dublin, Ireland, bore this third of seven children. The parents, members of church of Ireland, attended the parish church of Saint John the Baptist, located on Seafield road west in Clontarf with their baptized children.
Stoker, an invalid, started school at the age of seven years in 1854, when he made a complete and astounding recovery. Of this time, Stoker wrote, "I was naturally thoughtful, and the leisure of long illness gave opportunity for many thoughts which were fruitful according to their kind in later years."
After his recovery, he, a normal young man, even excelled as a university athlete at Trinity college, Dublin form 1864 to 1870 and graduated with honors in mathematics. He served as auditor of the college historical society and as president of the university philosophical society with his first paper on "Sensationalism in Fiction and Society."
In 1876, while employed as a civil servant in Dublin, Stoker wrote a non-fiction book (The Duties of Clerks of Petty Sessions in Ireland, published 1879) and theatre reviews for The Dublin Mail, a newspaper partly owned by fellow horror writer J. Sheridan Le Fanu. His interest in theatre led to a lifelong friendship with the English actor Henry Irving. He also wrote stories, and in 1872 "The Crystal Cup" was published by the London Society, followed by "The Chain of Destiny" in four parts in The Shamrock.
In 1878 Stoker married Florence Balcombe, a celebrated beauty whose former suitor was Oscar Wilde. The couple moved to London, where Stoker became business manager (at first as acting-manager) of Irving's Lyceum Theatre, a post he held for 27 years. The collaboration with Irving was very important for Stoker and through him he became involved in London's high society, where he met, among other notables, James McNeil Whistler, and Sir Arthur Conan Doyle. In the course of Irving's tours, Stoker got the chance to travel around the world.
The Stokers had one son, Irving Noel, who was born on December 31, 1879.
People cremated the body of Bram Stoker and placed his ashes placed in a display urn at Golders green crematorium. After death of Irving Noel Stoker in 1961, people added his ashes to that urn. Despite the original plan to keep ashes of his parents together, after death, people scattered ashes of Florence Stoker at the gardens of rest.

I have always aspired to be a classics reader but a combination of
laziness
lack of time, English ultimately being my second language and the sheer amount of media that absolutely demand consumption, I will never be that girl.
And THEN I discover this Manga Classics series and I thought I'M SAVED!! Being able to read Dracula in a few days while admiring gorgeous art was truly wonderful 💖
Apart from the massively heteronormative society of its time, both men and women were depicted rather well. Mina Murray-Harker is an absolute boss babe!

A very fun and accessible way to read Dracula!

This is a beautiful and brilliant version of Dracula! Definitely a great place to start if you haven’t read the novel and want an easier read. It maintains all of the important bits from Stoker’s original novel and the writing is the same 1800’s language you’d expect, except you get beautiful artwork to go with it!
The art in this book is incredible and I actually prefer it to most mainstream mangas. The characters really come to life and to see what you’re reading about playing out in front of you like a movie gives you a totally different experience, so it’s well worth a re-read should you have already read the original. 5 stars, easily.

I really don't like to read classics, but a classic in manga? I loved this so much and I understood a lot more from the manga compared to the blocks of text in an actual novel. I enjoyed this thoroughly and finished it in a few hours!

An interesting adaptation of a classic. It was a tad difficult to follow at times, but that is probably because it was being translated into a manga. I liked using the different fonts for each person, though I wish that had been explained at the beginning rather than the end.

Drácula de Bram Stoker. Norma Editorial. Vampiros, icono, adaptación, cómic…
De éste título voy a hablar sobre el manga, y al hacer la foto para la reseña con el original, también comentaré. Y de algunas películas…
Para empezar, confesar que aunque gracias a Christopher Lee me encantan los vampiros desde los 6 años, y mi primer escrito fue un libro donde no podía faltar un vampiro… y que al paso que voy, a ver cuándo lo corrijo y publico…, el libro de Bram Stoker no me encanta. Me lo leí 2 veces, y reconozco que en una me acabé durmiendo, lo siento por los que creen que sin este libro no habría vampiros y que por tanto me habrían de quemar por bruja; pero el vampiro ya sale en la Biblia. Aun así no me hubiera importado escribirlo, pues ha dado para mucho, y tiene sus partes sugestivas, por supuesto.
La narrativa es interesante: cada uno de los personajes se comunica en su estilo, a través de diarios, grabaciones, cartas...
Tenemos a un pobre ‘’desgraciado’’ que se apunta recetas culinarias para su prometida de camino a un lugar del que no hacen más que repetirle que está maldito. Y allí, la atmosfera es intrigante, pero no lo suficiente para mi gusto. Será que he conocido demonios humanos, y vampiros emocionales, como para que me afecte y no me deje dormir…
Y mira que tiene ingredientes, nunca mejor dicho, para el caso: castillo, vampiro, misterio y más. Tendría que ser, junto a Salem’s Lot, de Stephen King, una de mis almohadas…
La ‘’cosa’’ es que el protagonista es un pobre rebotado, ése es el adjetivo que me queda de sabor de boca de uno de los personajes más famosos de la historia. Quiere hacer daño y punto. Tóxico, le dirían ahora. Y más…
Consigue llegar al punto que se ha propuesto, para seguir haciendo daño, porque no sabe amar, o quizás lo olvidó: el mal bicho está viejo… Borra eso: el que ama, no olvida.
La excusa siempre es que ‘’como a mí me hicieron bullying, pues voy a hacerlo yo también’’. Pues venga, a pringarle la vida a los demás. Y venga fiesta con sangría.
Sí que reconozco que la amiga de la prota es la que mejor se lo monta al dar un cincelado respeto; ya que la ‘’Leyenda de la Dama Blanca’’ tiene alucinados a los niños. Ésta ya ni se mete con los de su talla…
Se monta una comunidad de la cruz… para dar caza al ser maligno. La de trabajo que tendrían ahora los buenos de la historia con tanto cabro…
Y bueno, me gustaría extenderme con el original y decir que es mi libro súper mega, pero no. Han exagerado, como con otras cositas actuales.
El gusto es personal, no lo insulto, y hay que leerlo si te interesa, y si te gusta mejor que mejor. Quizás un día le dé una tercera revisión, pero no apostaría una gota de sangre... y es una cruz, que un clásico del vampirismo no me hipnotice.
Sobre el manga…, pues no me parece manga, lo siento. El dibujo no me llama más allá de los castillos de las portadas. Y los piños de la pobre amiga, cuando no es tan pobre…
La letra, que quiere ser fiel al estilo narrativo original, casi ni se puede leer.
Y la ambientación, es muy sosa, pero han hecho lo que han podido, y han mantenido al rebotado como es. Me parece un cuento acaramelado y me ha chafado la esperanza, que tampoco tenía, para ser honesta. Pero hay que probar…
Mismo consejo que con el anterior: prueba. Cada persona es diferente (algunas no tanto), por suerte.
Sobre pelis… me encantaban y me encantarán siempre, las de la Hammer, donde Christopher aparece hablando cual cotorra en la 1º. Luego es más místico, se comunica a través del silencio, las miradas, etc… La atmósfera cuela mucho más, por muy antigua que sea. Es más apetecible. Aunque le sacaran el jugo e hicieran más de una película.
Conste que considero al señor Lee uno de los mejores actores, y me sacó mis lágrimas cuando murió; pero nuca fue mi tipo. Soy arbitraria. Y siempre recordaré que esperaba que repusieran sus películas, hasta que me las reponía (y aún) yo con las novedades digitales, como bien podría decir el rebotado que creó el buen escritor…
Sobre la película de Coppola, para mí, nada qué ver con el libro…
Música, ambientación, vestuario, actorazos, misterio (tampoco me da miedo, pero la habré visto…), y sobre todo la humanidad que aún se otorga al rebotado, cuando sale a relucir el acto al que puede llegar por amor. Lo veo más como una historia de amor que de odio, como recuerdo en el libro. Pero es mi parecer.
En fin, son como 4 reseñas en una. Y hay que recordar que le he sacado más sangre a las películas que al libro que las inspiró, al que no dejo de darle gracias.

Bram Stoker's "Dracula" is one of my all-time favorite novels. Because of this, I have always been dismayed at the movies and other adaptations of it. So often they make the women fall in love with Dracula or some other cliche. There is no need for such, as there are love stories the plenty in the original.
I wasn't sure what to expect going into this. I have read manga for many years, but this is my first from the Manga Classics series. Overall, I am very pleased. All of the narration and dialogue are directly from the book, so far as I can tell. The illustrations are beautiful.
There were some things left out or glossed over that I felt were rather important, but that could just be someone who so dearly loves the original nit-picking. I recommend this to anyone who loves the novel. This is also a great read for manga-lovers as well as people who don't feel they could get through the novel.

He leído otros títulos de esta colección y al igual que los anteriores, ha sido una lectura impecable:
🧛♂️ Esta versión en formato manga del clásico Drácula, respeta la original, adaptando los pasajes más importantes y añadiendo las ilustraciones como un plus que le da dinamismo y humanismo a los personajes.
🧛♂️ El formato diario se mantiene, por no decir que pese a las 370 páginas que conforman esta obra, no dificultan al lector si resultase ser su primera toma de contacto con la misma. Ambos productos se complementan, ya que se busca el sintetizar sin perder su esencia y tratarlo además, de manera independiente a su predecesora.
🧛♂️ Al finalizar, se incluyen curiosidades sobre el trato de la voces, bocetos en escala de grises y un pequeño análisis del trabajo exhaustivo con el cuidado y el detalle de los artistas implicados en esta serie.
Un imprescindible para l@s amantes del terror y de los mitos vampíricos.

Dracula by Bram Stoker . . . but in manga format. No, seriously, hear me out. This was amazing. I've never read the original novel but have always wanted to. I found this at the library and had to check it out. Turns out it's apparently quite faithful, using original dialogue and little to no abridgement. The art by Virginia Nitouhei is fabulous, and the story, adapted by Stacy King, flows impeccably. It uses the original epistolary format via the ensemble cast to excellent effect.
The story itself was as good as I've always heard. It's easy to see why Stoker's horror/suspense tale is so beloved, especially with how well-rounded it is. He dives deeply into the characters and their emotional bonds, handling themes of love and loss with the greatest of care.

Llevo hace tiempo coleccionando estos mangas clásicos y es mi última adquisición está obra: Drácula.
La verdad que deseaba mucho tenerla en mis manos y aunque me he tomado el tiempo de leerlo eso no quita que no lo haya disfrutado. Me ha encantado el dibujo y la forma en que se ha organizado todo para cada personaje.
Es una historia que tenía mucha curiosidad por leerla y que ha intentado ser lo más fiel posible a la novela.
Aunque sea una novela que se público unos años atrás y con una mentalidad que no es como la actual si que he visto que a las mujeres también se les da un papel importante aún si hay algún pensamiento anticuado de cómo debe ser una dama estuvo bien encajado.

The manga story and art were great and they did a good job at condensing the story to for the manga.
The story over all is... different. Definitely an older story with old philosophies of women where we can't do anything but die or be a reason for the men to do things.
The idea of "new technology" being a phonograph or hypnotism or blood transfusion was pretty cool. Even if they got some things wrong.
I'm not a horror reader, but I can understand why people have struck to Dracula over the last 200 years. Why he's such a figure in our pop culture still.
I probably won't be reading the actual book. I tried, but it's just not my thing. Though I can see why people enjoy it.

I can't saw I'm familiar with the original text, but I found this manga version to be digestible and easy to follow. There is not a ton of exposition but the 300+ pages help you figure out who the characters are rather quickly. There is also a precise timeline which adds to the ease of reading. The back of the book describes this manga as going for a "documentary feeling" and I would agree that this version offers that with some fun additions of the characters letters, journal entries, specific handwritings, and more. I would pick up other works from this collection.
If I had to give it a critique, it's quite long for a comic/manga, but Dracula itself is quite long.

Easy five stars. It's Dracula with beautiful art. This is a very easy way to enjoy a literary classic and not lose any of the story. Absolutely beautiful rendition. If you're familiar with the movie version of Dracula and have never read it, you may think the manga changed things. It's the other way around. They added romance to the movies. Dracula is a monster and this is a horror story. Perfect. (For whatever it's worth, if anything, I enjoy the movies and the book equally despite the differences.)
I read the soft cover physical edition, but don't have the option to choose that.

This is the second time this year I've read this story. This version holds so close to the original that it is genuinely impressive. I cannot imagine who this is for but it is a great translation across mediums.
Both times I've read Dracula, I've felt it was a great tale that I enjoyed but that I struggled to find any momentum in reading. Both times I have enjoyed it.

Tenía muchas ganas de leerme esta historia por fin y para que se me hiciera un poco más ligero me la leí en su versión manga.
Me ha gustado bastante la historia pero se me ha hecho un pelín lenta, aún así la historia está bastante bien y a sido un gusto leer este clásico. Lo volveré a leer en su versión novela a ver qué tal

I can’t get into this. I never read more than maybe a bit from the original book, and this seems like a faithful adaptation, but I don’t care enough to wait out all these slow burn chapters that are written in language that is just laborious enough to help me give up on the book entirely. (Made it about 25% in and started flipping ahead.)

5 Stars.
My love affair with the classics continues. After this manga I am now a Dracula devote :).
This reinvisioning of the classic brings the story to life in the most enagaging way. While I will admit it did drag a wee bit in the middle, I would absolutely re read this and the original version. I am not the biggest manga fan but I would certainly recommend this one

Just read the novel or watch one of the movies. Weirdly phoned in manga adaptation with poor character designs...Lost all the darkness and foreboding. It's like they tried to trick teenage girls who just got done reading Fruits Basket into reading Dracula by scraping away the original ambiance and replacing it with the most stereotypical manga vibes. Really just sucked all the life out of it lol.
December 30, 2022
I've read this before as the book. This manga was from a copy from the library and was in PDF format so I couldn't read it very well. The story was good, it had the main points and added narration to it. The only downside I had was the format I read it in.
July 30, 2023
Excelente historia (por algo sigue siendo famosa 200 años despues) y grandisima adaptacion, dibujo limpio con una adaptación brillante. Más que recomendable con un epilogo con aclaraciones y sketches. De verdad que de lo mejor leido de Dracula
February 22, 2024
It was so good. I loved this. I need more from this author. I loved that Dracula was bad and it was a different side to see. I felt like this was more of a thriller, although It did have some tragic deaths in it as well.
October 24, 2022
I read the paper graphic novel. This is an easy way to read the story of Dracula, with a taste of the original written word but with graphics to help with understanding!
February 2, 2023
This was actually a fun read like it's a lot less dense than the original. The graphics were cool.
February 21, 2023
What a great adaption!! So faithful to the original novel (everyone was so pretty) ♥️
