This is very different from what I expected and is really more like a psychological thriller, than out and out horror. Dracula himsel hangs over everything but the man himself appears surprisingly little.
The epistolary style of the book works fantastically well in the opening half of the book but I found it became a bit of a slog after that. At times there were 10 page journal entries that had about 2 lines of relative information in them. I also found the ending to be slightly anticlimactic, but on the whole it's a pretty decent read.
