Reading Rendezvous

Dracula by Bram Stoker: Not the Vampire Story I Expected


Listen Later

In this episode of Reading Rendezvous, a book club podcast, I share my thoughts on Dracula by Bram Stoker, one of the most famous classic books in gothic horror.

Reading Dracula felt very different from what I expected. Rather than a fast-paced vampire novel, this book unfolds slowly, building tension through atmosphere, unease, and the feeling that something is always just out of reach. 

This episode isn’t a formal literary analysis or a chapter-by-chapter breakdown. It’s a conversational book review, focused on how Dracula feels to read today, what surprised me along the way, and why Bram Stoker’s novel still holds its power more than a century later.

If you enjoy books, classic literature, gothic fiction, or being part of a welcoming book club where there’s no pressure to sound like an expert, this conversation is for you.
