Book Lovers UnInterrupted discussion

What do you think of Dracula by by Bram Stoker?

I love it...It was the book which brought vampires into spotlight..And the Twilight just chiseled them into being loved by teens like us...

I think Dracula is a book that revolutionized the horror genre. One of my favorite supernatural beings ever. The story of Vlad Dracula or Vlad the impaler from whom the inspiration for the story was taken is also intriguing in fact it is more gruesome.

I had great hopes of being terrified by the book. But while I like the writing and the characters, I didn't feel even a jitter, despite reading it at night with lights switched off (was reading it on my phone.)
Was disappointed.

Dream's Sake

I use Bram Stoker's "Dracula" in many arguements; usually about censorship! Why do people want to censor books, but are perfectly happy for their children to read 'Dracula' which has a pretty erotic scene? It makes no sense to me!

Having said that, I enjoyed this book. I've read it countless times and even studied it in school
