Dracula - Bram Stoker

Not disappointing, although not mindblowing either. Compared to modern fiction there is no tension whatsoever between the good guys (except what is caused by Mina's "false" badguy status). They are a happy family, constantly talking about how brave and noble they all are and patting each other on the back. I suppose a strong "ka-tet" was necessary to defeat the vamp. he certainly is a frightening villain. All in all a good antidote to today's stupid preening pretty-boy American high school heart-throb vampires.
