Jim's Review
🐛
Stoker's Dracula is nothing like the suave cape-twirlers you see in movies — this Count is genuinely terrifying. Jim loves the epistolary format; reading other people's diaries is basically what bookworms do best. The slow build of dread as the characters piece together what they're dealing with is masterful pacing. Sure, it drags in spots, but when it hits, it hits like garlic to a vampire. This worm dug every creepy minute of it.
