Red with blood.
The Story
The format is like a journal, chronicling the events of the story and the history of Count Dracula, whom he claimed to be a descendant of Attila the Hun. It was a bloodthirsty and chilling novel that I could not go to sleep in the end!
I also feel sorry for Lucy Westenra, having to die so young and to become a vampire all thanks to Count Dracula. Prompting Jonathan Hawker, Dr. Van Helsing and Mina to retaliate by killing the Count.
The Characters
The title character is really fascinating, because he was based on a Romanian Prince name Vlad III of Wallachia (famously known as Vlad the Impaler). He gained reputation by impaling his victims and dining with them, it was such a gruesome site!
Lucy was seen as a sympathetic character because she was turn into a vampire and died later on in the story, I always feel bad that my heart cries for her when reading the story.
Mina was nearly turn into a vampire, until the count was killed. Thus releasing her from the curse!
Finally, Dr. Van Helsing was a very interesting character, he got me fascinated into vampire folklore. He's a Dutch doctor who travels to Amsterdam frequently and is very reliable.
This is Halloween!
So, do you agree with my review? Enjoy your spooky Halloween this year!
He has arrived.
