But after narrowly escaping the castle – and the vampires dwelling within – Harker knows what true evil looks like.

WARNING: Our script is a faithful adaptation of a century-old story. As such, some language and themes depicted reflect outdated attitudes that in no way reflect the views of Soundbooth Theater. 

I've seen the movies, but I've never read the book that started it all. So, when I saw the opportunity to listen to an audiobook version told by multiple narrators, I hopped on board. I'm actually glad I waited so long and experienced the book this way first, because the narrators, using different voices and accents, for each character really brought this book to life in a unique way. 

The book itself wasn't entirely what I expected as it was told through letters and diary entries. I had no idea, but now having read it, I couldn't imagine it told any other way. Also, Dracula himself is a main character seen primarily through the eyes of the characters around him.  Not what I was expecting at all. But, all these unexpected things made this story all the more enjoyable. Listen to a sample!
