The Review:

Dracula, the godfather of vampires and gothic culture. This book is what started it all and brought this genre to the attention of mainstream culture and media.

The writing style is as classic as the book, but the atmosphere is what makes it so frightening for the new reader, and the words and locations add to the realism and terror.

My interpretation of this novel differs from what most people think of it because they fail to recognize that Dracula the novel is a romance novel at heart, with the sadness, longing, and forbidden love that follows in the form of reincarnation and revenge against time and bad luck. For me, Dracula was the hero of this story, and if you look at the most famous vampires of this generation, you'll see what I mean. If you don't know or understand what I mean, read or watch the Twilight Saga, and you'll see what I mean. My hero Dracula is basically all of the new book/movie series' hero vampires, but the names have been changed.

Based on the preceding paragraph, I assume that Mr. Bram Stoker cleverly hid this message in the story, but no one was able to understand this message that Dracula was actually the hero until now. If you've already read the original, read it again while remembering everything I said, and you'll notice the hidden message very clearly.

I was never afraid of Dracula, from the first time I read about him to the first time I saw him in a film played by the great Bela Lugosi. I was with my grandfather who was cheering for Van Helsing, played by Edward Van Sloan. I wasn't afraid of Dracula because I realized how much power this creature possesses, and if a human can become infected and control his desire to drink blood, then this human can be of great assistance to humanity and be extremely useful in protecting the innocent. And it's because of this that I'm so fascinated by this monster.

My grandfather was a scientist who had a lab full of gadgets, beakers, and other equipment like you see in movies, and he was always conducting experiments. I used to watch him whenever I had time, so after seeing this movie, I was always asking him questions like how can we become like Dracula without getting mad, and how about we experiment on the biggest bats and use their blood or bite to become like Dracula, and so many other crazy ideas... He was a patient man, so he just enjoyed himself and told me that one day I'd be a great scientist who would help humanity. He was correct and I can’t say more on this topic.


Synopsis:

“During a business visit to Count Dracula's castle in Transylvania, a young English solicitor finds himself at the center of a series of horrifying incidents. Jonathan Harker is attacked by three phantom women, observes the Count's transformation from human to bat form, and discovers puncture wounds on his own neck that seem to have been made by teeth. Harker returns home upon his escape from Dracula's grim fortress, but a friend's strange malady — involving sleepwalking, inexplicable blood loss, and mysterious throat wounds — initiates a frantic vampire hunt. The popularity of Bram Stoker's 1897 horror romance is as deathless as any vampire. Its supernatural appeal has spawned a host of film and stage adaptations, and more than a century after its initial publication, it continues to hold readers spellbound.”

The Review:

This novel is a gothic horror that uses suspense and atmosphere to create its impact. The story revolves around a mysterious specter that haunts a small English town.

It's a little short, but maybe its better that way because it already felt a little stretched for what it was as a story.

It's written in the style of a late-nineteenth-century book, even though it was allegedly originally published in 1983. I felt like I was going through an overly complex tale at points. The narrative is evocative, and it's easy to imagine yourself trapped in this ancient home alongside the protagonists. It's not a horrible book, and it reads more smoothly than novels that are truly nineteenth-century publications.

That style of writing is almost lost to time, but it was still a gripping way to hold the reader's attention. If you can't stand that type of writing, you might not enjoy the book, but the movie is good and you can watch it first to get an idea, and then read the book to get full details that were missing in the movie.

Although the book and film are not identical, there are some similarities. I'm undecided about which is better because I always prefer books, but this time I believe it's a close call between the two. Leave a comment with your thoughts on the subject.


Synopsis:

“An internationally acclaimed and haunting ghost story. “One of the strongest stories of supernatural horror…the work bursts into life and does not flag until the end.”―The Washington Post

Arthur Kipps, a young solicitor, has come north from London to attend the funeral and settle the affairs of Mrs. Alice Drablow of Eel Marsh House. The townspeople are reluctant to share any information about Mrs. Drablow but Kipps soon realizes that there is more to Alice Drablow than he originally thought. At the funeral, he sees a woman dressed in black, with a pale face and dark eyes, whom a group of children is silently watching.

While sorting through Mrs. Drablow’s papers at Eel Marsh House over the course of several days, the routine formalities Kipps anticipates give way to a tumble of events and secrets more sinister and terrifying than any nightmare: the rocking chair in the deserted nursery, the eerie sound of a pony and trap, a child's scream in the fog, and most dreadfully and most tragically for Kipps, the woman in black herself.

First published in 1983, and written in the style of a traditional Gothic novel, The Woman in Black has become a classic novel of supernatural horror.”

The Ruins

Published: 18, July 2006

Author: Scott Smith

Genres: Action, Adventure, American Literature, Fiction, Horror, Literature, Men's, Mystery, Short Stories, Survival, Suspense, Thrillers

The Review:

The plot is set in Mexico's Yucatan Peninsula. It is a survival horror in which people go to any length to conquer their environment and live.

I'll be really honest with the readers about this book since it isn't for everyone, and the reason is that it feels like a short tale was stretched into a whole novel. However, this is not the case, and the author intentionally wrote in this manner to prolong and lengthen the reader's dread and claustrophobic sensation.

The characters to me were kind of realistic and felt like stupid people who made wrong decisions after wrong decisions and that is what makes it even harder to read, especially if you know someone who is actually like any of these characters in real life. You don’t want to be with anyone who is like that and reading about that makes it uncomfortable to read knowing something bad is about to happen and that is why some readers don’t like such a suffocating style but for others that is what a master class horror book has to offer.

If you read a hundred pages and felt bad then understand one thing and that is, the next two hundred pages are going to feel even worse or at least the same so why not continue because that is what this book is all about, an experiment in horror storytelling that has its own style of horror and the enemy is actually the nature but ancient nature that the modern world has not seen for centuries.

I wanted to give more points and recommendations, but I know many people won't like that, and if someone who is claustrophobic or not into this type of survival horror, reads this book on my advice, he or she may believe I'm not rating honestly.


Synopsis:

“Trapped in the Mexican jungle, a group of friends stumble upon a creeping horror unlike anything they could ever imagine.Two young couples are on a lazy Mexican vacation–sun-drenched days, drunken nights, making friends with fellow tourists. When the brother of one of those friends disappears, they decide to venture into the jungle to look for him. What started out as a fun day-trip slowly spirals into a nightmare when they find an ancient ruins site . . . and the terrifying presence that lurks there.”
