Drakula

Stoker's depiction of Dracula has become iconic—I'm curious whether there were specific myths, legends, or personal influences that shaped this character’s menacing presence.

The narrative shifts between characters and locations, which can feel slow but also immersive. I'm wondering if this was a deliberate choice to heighten tension or just a storytelling style.

The use of letters, diaries, and reports creates a sense of immediacy. Do readers feel this enhances the horror, or does it sometimes detract from the flow of the story?
