This Penguin Classic is narrated by Mark Gatiss, who also wrote the screen play for the critically acclaimed BBC adaptation. Gatiss has also had an extensive acting career including roles in Sherlock, which he wrote alongside Steven Moffat, The League of Gentlemen and Wolf Hall.

When Jonathan Harker visits Transylvania to help Count Dracula with the purchase of a London house, he makes a series of horrific discoveries about his client. Soon afterwards, various bizarre incidents unfold in England: an apparently unmanned shipis wrecked off the coast of Whitby; a young woman discovers strange puncture marks on her neck; and the inmate of a lunatic asylum raves about the 'Master' and his imminent arrival. In Dracula, Bram Stoker created one of the great masterpieces of the horror genre, brilliantly evoking a nightmare world of vampires and vampire hunters and also illuminating the dark corners of Victorian sexuality and desire.

The narrator makes this classic novel come to life. Dracula is still the best vampire story ever written, with Stephen King’s, Salem’s Lot a close 2nd.

Great narration.

The ‘evasive knowing’ writing style is brilliant and so spooky. Much better than expected and narration is excellent. Introduction is terrible, skip it.

Epic fight against evil to save souls

I’m not a fan of horror stories but this narrator made it so enjoyable I had to keep up the listening. He lent much humor to the whole experience. I’m happy I finally got around to this novel and it’s thanks to Mr. Gatiss that I finished it. Well done!

Great narration. Gothic literature.

The origins of modern vampire mythos. Bram Stoker did a great job encapsulating the fear and power that this creature creates. It's a story of a group of friends banding together to defeat the monster. The entire story is told in diary entries and newspaper clippings. I thought this was a brilliant decision. You get the dramatic irony of how the public understands the situation vs the main characters and from multiple perspectives. They all tie together beautifully to create one mystery adventure as they race against the clock before Count Dracula takes over.

My only criticism of the story is a product of its time. While there are examples in the story that challenge gender norms, the two main female characters fall flat. They're a little too one-dimensional and helpless.

I am thrilled that I chose this as an audio book rather than reading the text myself. This voice actor brought every character to life and it is splendid!

Voice actor is spectacular!

Vampire fiction is what is is today because of this book, and it absolutely holds up today. An excellent read, an excellent tale, and an awful foreword. I could not give two flying feathers for what some random dude thinks about the author's sexuality or preferences. Why this is in the narration at all baffles me, and I'm certainly glad they stuck it at the end so it wouldn't mar my enjoyment of the actual story.

A story worthy of the legacy

It's a great classic and the reading, with the acting in the voices and their accents, is wonderful. I enjoyed it very much.

Wonderful Classic with Excellent reading

Outstanding.
Introduction however is terrible. It rails against Stoker's explicitly moralist intentions with modern arrogance.

Wonderful Book, Terrible Introduction
