Dracula by Bram Stoker
Over vacation, I read Dracula by Bram Stoker. It is a classic science-fiction horror novel about a vampire traveling to London from Transylvania in the late 1800's. The novel opens with a journal entry from one of the main characters, Jonathan Harker, traveling by train to Transylvania to meet Count Dracula. During his visit, Jonathan notices abnormalities in the castle and even more strange incidents with the Count.
Eventually, Jonathan is forced to escape from the Count by jumping into a river from the top of the castle. Jonathan, however, accidentally entices the Count to meet Jonathan's fiancee and their friends and pulls him into their world.
After the death of one of their friends, the main characters become obsessed with ridding the world of the Count. The reading is difficult at times because the story is written in journal entries by the main characters about the same subject other characters are also writing or talking about.
All and all, I enjoyed Dracula very much, and encourage all who like horror or suspense novels to read it. If you saw the movie from the early 1990's, the story lines are quite different.
