Read it by candlelight if you can. The mood demands it. A classic that earns its reputation.
Victorian anxieties wrapped in a horror novel. Stoker was processing his era's fears through fiction.
Renfield deserves more page time. His descent into madness is the most psychologically interesting subplot.
Every vampire story since stands in Stoker's shadow. The original is still the best.
The Count as a metaphor for colonialism in reverse - the East invading the West. Layers upon layers.
Lucy's transformation is genuinely disturbing. Stoker understood that the scariest monsters are the ones we loved.
The pacing is uneven - brilliant horror in Transylvania, then a slow burn in England before the climax.
Stoker's use of modern technology (phonographs, typewriters, telegrams) alongside ancient evil is clever.
The opening chapters in Transylvania are among the most atmospheric in horror fiction. Pure dread.
