Before Twilight. Before Vampire Diaries. Before all the glitter and high school drama…
There was Dracula.
Written by Bram Stoker in 1897, Dracula is the OG vampire novel—the one that started it all. And honestly? It’s way creepier (and cooler) than people think.
π¦ What’s the story?
A young English lawyer travels to a spooky castle in Transylvania (bad idea #1) to meet Count Dracula. Spoiler: the guy’s not normal. He drinks blood, turns into a bat, and is very into the whole "eternal darkness" vibe. Soon, Dracula moves to England, and let’s just say… things get chaotic.
π Told through letters, journal entries, and newspaper clippings, it feels like you're inside the mystery, trying to piece it all together.
(It's like the 19th-century version of a true crime podcast.)
π Why you should read it:
-
Creepy castle? ✔️
-
Mysterious fog and howling wolves? ✔️
-
Vampire hunters with stakes and garlic? ✔️
-
Gothic drama? Off the charts.
π₯ Bonus: There’s no sparkling. Dracula is terrifying, charming, and evil in the best possible way.

Question time:
Would you rather spend one night in Dracula’s castle π° or face him in London’s dark streets? π±
