Dracula by Bram Stoker: Not the Vampire Story I Expected

Send us Fan Mail [https://www.buzzsprout.com/2573136/fan_mail/new] In this episode of Reading Rendezvous, a book club podcast, I share my thoughts on Dracula by Bram Stoker, one of the most famous classic books in gothic horror. Reading Dracula felt very different from what I expected. Rather than a fast paced vampire novel, this book unfolds slowly, building tension through atmosphere, unease, and the feeling that something is always just out of reach.  If you enjoy books, classic literature, gothic fiction, or being part of a welcoming book club where there’s no pressure to sound like an expert, this conversation is for you.
