"Dracula" is author Bram Stoker's masterpiece of gothic horror, a legendary tale of the undead, featuring the infamous - and original - vampire, Count Dracula himself. Adapted into dozens of stage, screen and television performances since it was first published in 1897, here is the first, blood-curdling tale of the King of the Undead. When Johnathan Harker is sent to visit Count Dracula at his castle in Transylvania to complete a real estate transaction, he unwittingly falls victim to Dracula and his three vampiric acolytes. The Count then travels to England in order to capture and enslave the beautiful and elusive beauty, Mina Murray, Harker's fiancé. After preying on Mina's friend, the comely and attractive Lucy, the famous vampire hunter Professor Van Helsing is summoned and the stage is set for a cataclysmic showdown between good and evil. Told in a series of letters, journals and newspaper clippings, Bram Stoker creates an unforgettable world of mystery and terror that spawned a century's worth of vampire tales and would-be imitators. But here, we proudly present the story as it first appeared, in its original and unabridged forma… (more)

I could my recommend this book more! I loved the artwork and the story was fantastic! I would give it more than five stars if I could ( )

I would never consider a graphic novel adaptation a substitute for the book, but this was definitely a great supplement. The story was very close to the original. There were very few embellishments and I was happy with the events that were included. The order in which things happened was changed a little, but always in a way I felt preserved the heart of the original while streamlining the story. I liked this much better than my first experience with a graphic novel, perhaps because knowing the story already erased any difficulty I might have following a story in this format. Finally, the drawing. It was perfect! Just cartoony enough, but not over the top except for the occasionally resemblance of the Count to Cruella de Vil. The color was also fantastically well done. As long as you’re not going to be bothered by the occasional small change or embellishment, I would highly recommend this to any fans of the original novel.

Personal Reaction:
I really did not like this book. First, I had hard time reading it and found myself reading some of the lines more then once. Second, I am not very thrilled about reading horror stories. But, I think this book will be very appealing to third graders who are into spooky stories.

Classroom Extension:
1. I would have each student create their own graphic nobel.
2. I would have a class discusion about dislikes and likes about graphic nobles. ( )

summary: A Estate man named Johnathan goes to Transylvania to meet with Count Dracula,in his big evil Castle. England is haunted by the undying one who in his evil . The classic tale comes about and has details such as no reflection in the mirror etc.Lots of pictures to feed back off of.
Personal reaction: Overall a timeless tale of the scary famous Count dracula put forth as Bram Stoker in a classic comic that would entice young minds to read. I would say third grade and up. Some students would get caught up in the tale of this original vampire.
Classroom extension: Read to entire class as a whole then have a review sheet to see how well they comprehended the story. Make each student write a short story, with illustrations, that would involve Count dracula.
