Dracula crawling down the side of a castle wall is a very creepy image. His 'nightmare' with those three women and them devouring the child is also quite horrific. The entire headspace of Dracula's castle is quite disorienting and claustrophobic, so credit to Stoker here for doing it so well. Prose wise it's fairly straight forward, which works for the style of the novel. Some nice descriptions but nothing special

Now this is what I signed up for - batshit weirdness. Corpse tied to the mast of an empty ship, dangling in the wind. Then follows his own log of events leading up to his demise . . . horrific stuff. Mr Swales is brilliant - dramatically describing Judgement Day in relation to a half empty graveyard - because half of the bodies are lost at sea! De Seward's Patient, Renfield, is also unnerving.
