I wanted to read this book as my Halloween read. I started it then, but it's been a hectic month, so it's taken me a while to get through.
Ah, what a wonderful read.
What inspired Bram Stoker to write Dracula? This book takes a stab in the dark at it (see what I did there?).
With a foot firmly still in the paranormal, Mr Stoker & I explores the life of Miss Lucy.
A family curse, a chap from the Carpathian Mountains, an asylum and ghosts...what more could you want in a gothic tale?
As a Dracula fan, I was intrigued by this version of the "truth behind the myth".
An intriguing tale with a unique voice.
Beautifully written, this story has an almost poetic soul.
Calm, not rushed yet detailed. It's like taking a stroll along the cliffs at sunset, conversing with a friend. But that conversation contains some horror!
Fans of the genre, I recommend this book.
An easy 4.5* from me.
Always in love and light,
TL
