Review by Forest

Really, this tale is far creepier than any visual adaptation due to the fact that the reader is quite unprepared for the events taking place (most movie/Tv shows have been inaccurate to the text, Ford Coppola's was at least a good effort-- yet if you've seen it, you realize how much the story diverges from what is more popularly known), as well there is the element of time and distance from the very composition of the novel itself. Late 19th century, that is every bit the undiscoverable --to our time-- country as was Vlad Dracul's Transylvania.

It is, of course, and unnaturally, an exceptional story, best to be unprepared for it, I daresay

An excerpt from the novel's introductionHow these papers have been placed in sequence will be made manifest in the reading of them. All needless matters have been eliminated, so that a history almost at variance with the possibilities of later-day belief may stand forth as simple fact. There is throughout no statement of past things wherein memory may err, for all the records chosen are exactly contemporary, given from the standpoints and within the range of knowledge of those who made them.size: 16 MB
