Member recommendations:MarcusBrutus recommends Frankenstein by Mary Wollstonecraft Shelley becca58203 recommends Interview with the Vampire by Anne Rice dakobstah recommends Salem's Lot by Stephen King, "This is a modernized, Americanized version of "Dracula." It is not told in the same first-hand account fashion as the original but provides a deeper, (see more) more psychologically driven plot. It at once wields a fascinating story with obvious parallels (most of the characters in "Dracula" appear in "Salem's Lot" under different guises) as well as poignant social commentary about life in small-town America. Highly recommended for those who liked, and even those who didn't like, the original "Dracula."" ( see more recommendations and anti-recommendations for this book )
Amazon.com Book Description (ISBN 014062063X, Paperback)The vampire novel that started it all, Bram Stoker's Dracula probes deeply into human identity, sanity, and the dark corners of Victorian sexuality and desire. When Jonathan Harker visits Transylvania to help Count Dracula purchase a London house, he makes horrifying discoveries about his client. Soon afterward, disturbing incidents unfold in England-an unmanned ship is wrecked at Whitby, strange puncture marks appear on a young woman's neck, and a lunatic asylum inmate raves about the imminent arrival of his "Master"-culminating in a battle of wits between the sinister Count and a determined group of adversaries.(retrieved from Amazon Mon, 25 Aug 2008 01:43:20 -0400) |
