What it’s about

The story is told through diaries, letters and newspaper cuttings, as a group of friends slowly understand what has followed them to England.

The opening chapters in Castle Dracula are some of the most gripping in horror.

  • Fear of the unknown
  • Friendship
  • Modern science against old evil
“Listen to them—the children of the night. What music they make!”
Bram Stoker, Dracula

Why people stop, and how to finish

After the castle, the middle section in England slows down, with long diary entries about Lucy's illness.

What helps: Read a diary entry or two per sitting; the format suits short sessions. The last third is a chase and moves fast.

At 20 minutes a day you’ll reach the last page in about 34 days.
