Ah, this book was a delightfully creepy trip and a half. Following along with #Dracula‘s Lucy and #JaneEyre‘s Bertha, this book explores the real cost of immortality, and the lies and machinations of the men that trapped the two in eternal life. I‘m not much of a horror fan at all, but this book was gruesome at times and had a serious gothic feel, it felt more melancholy to me than anything else. Fast-paced, very well-drawn, and fascinating.

Dracula | Bram Stoker

Stumbled onto this gorgeous bookstore in Bucharest‘s Old Town today. It‘s located in a former nobility palace. What did I buy? After a tour of Transylvania, it had to be a copy of “Dracula” — of course!

Amiable @DogMomIrene It was funny —when I got back to the meeting spot, a group of older ladies in our tour group swarmed me and wanted to know where I‘d gotten the book —it‘s a gorgeous leather-bound edition. So I hand sold 4 more copies! The bookstore really should hire me to make the rounds when tourists come through. 😄 5d

Sherlock Holmes vs. Dracula | Loren D. Estleman

so-so

37/100 This series of "Further Adventures" of Sherlock Holmes are very hit or miss. I deem this one a definite miss. While the author does a good job mimicking the writing style of Conan Doyle, the story is kind of flat and the ending is seriously anticlimactic. Other SH stories, like The Hounds of the Baskervilles, had supernatural elements, but they were all explained in logical, reality based solution. I was hoping it wouldn't really be the ⬇️

so-so

Did we need another book about Dracula that feels not too different from the original? I‘m not sure I did. It felt overly long, and dragged in parts for me. I did like that many of the characters were scholars and that a good deal of the story is them researching, delving into old tomes in search of historic scraps about Vlad that others may have missed.

Overall though, I can‘t say I gained much from reading this.

Ruthiella I loved this when I first read it - back when I read maybe 20 books a year- but am not sure how I‘d feel were I to read it now. 2mo
