I‘m nearly finished with Dracul! I hope to have it mailed out by the 25th! #LMPBC
#LMPBC #GroupV @Readergrrl May‘s book on the way to you!! Hope you devour it like I did!!🧛🏻
pick#LMPBC #GroupV This prequel to Dracula (written by Bram Stoker‘s great grand nephew?) really made me want to go back and read the original. I loved the story and the character relationships. It was truly a book about family, sacrifice and loyalty. There was a lot is suspense and gore (I found myself writing “gross” a lot), but this was a 5 star read! 🧛🏻🧛🏻🧛🏻🧛🏻🧛🏻
pickThis book was amazing! The story kept me hooked. I definitely enjoyed the relationship between Matilda and Bram. The ending is a forgone conclusion since this is a prequel but I still found myself worried about the safety of our main character. I wasn‘t scared but I was thoroughly creeped out. I‘m glad I pushed my boundaries with this book since I usually try to stay away from scary. 5/5 ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ #LPMBC17 #GroupV
I‘m looking at this book or The Southern Book Club‘s Guide to Slaying Vampires. Do you ladies have a preference? #LMPBC #GroupV
pickIt was a slow burn, but I enjoyed it 😊
Especially, the concept of pulling from Bram Stoker‘s notes.
such a fun read…full of scary, creepy, gory stuff…book #1 for #spookoweenreadathon @TheSpineView #readinggoals #spookyreads
pick🎃🎃🎃🎃🎃A wonderful gothic tale for the spooky season! Vampires best served cold and vicious. I really enjoyed this prequel to Dracula, it makes for a nice pairing.
so-soI loved Dracul in the beginning, but the ending took a direction that I didn‘t really enjoy. But the ending saved it. Overall, it was a fun read and great for this time of year. Oh, and be sure to read the author‘s note it was really interesting.

“The prequel to Dracula, inspired by notes and texts left behind by the author of the classic novel, Dracul is a supernatural thriller that reveals not only Dracula's true origins but Bram Stoker's - and the tale of the enigmatic woman who connects them.” #BramStoker #Dracula #livingdead #creepy #spooky #HellFireClub
I am tempted to buy this on payday just to hear Christopher Lee read it to me.

1. Ehm... no 😂 I don't even try an audiobook so no, definitely I've never listened a book on a CD
2. Sometimes, especially when I need to cancel all the noises around me (voices, TV,...). In these cases I choose instrumental music so I cannot sing the lyrics 😂

New week, new reading!
This is the last vampire's book I planned to read during March.
Even my March TBR is almost finished, only one book more 😆🤟

I started reading this and one thing is really distracting to me: it's using the framing device of being Bram Stoker's journal, but everything about it is deeply American. The way it's narrated, the spellings, the way Dublin is discussed, and the absolute worst is the dialogue. It'll mention Dublin Castle or whatever, then Cletus Stoker will say something and I'll be like “wait, where is this set? Mid 19th century Ireland or Mayberry?“
My answer changes every time I'm asked. This one isn't scary to me but it's one of my favourites. It's dark, gothic and VERY atmospheric
3. Sharks are NOT horror movie monsters!!!! Enough. With. The. Sharks!
4. Scary-sexy, non-sparkly, creepy ass vampires. I'm starting to get a feel for mermaids too. You know, the murdery kind 💀
5. Mugs, Funkos, booksleeves and just....weird, creepy shit you don't see anywhere 😂
#creepychristmas @teebe
pickLove love love, this novel! Perfect #Halloween read with scary sound ambience and giving out candy with nightly lit #pumpkins. The smell of bomb fires, I sat delightfully enthralled in this book. It's between 2 time periods for Bram Stocker, as a child and current a time he's being attacked by a mystery beast. Excellent writing style #creepy #suspenseful #scary 🎃🎃🎃🎃🎃 5 pumpkins
pickThis was a re-read for me and a book club pick because I really enjoyed it the first time around. The second time was not a let down! I am really interested in reading more from Dacre Stoker because I really enjoyed this vampire tale that read almost as a ghost story at times.

I finished it in time, yay! I thought the book was very much in line with the original Dracula. I adored the voices of the female characters, Ellen and Matilda, the best. This creepy, gothic novel got the atmosphere just right for Victorian vampires. The suspense and mystique surrounding the plot really sucked me in.

Perfect for October/Halloween Season. I‘ve had this in the bottom of my book box for a while so best give it a try! #bookstagram #dracul #jdbarker #dacrestoker #dracula #horror #vampires #bramstoker #bramstokersdracula #october #halloween #gothichorror #booked2020
pickDracula is an incredible book. This prequel is pretty darn good, too. Mysterious, creepy, well-written and fun to read. What if Bram Stoker‘s classic isn‘t fiction? In this creative book, Stoker and his siblings come together to uncover the mysteries of their very unusual childhood nanny...
This was my #GothicHorror for #Booked2020, and I am proud to say I put my big girl pants on and kept listening even after it got dark today!🦇
⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️
2 books, 10 euro only... welcome home, babies!

pickI have always heard if you like "Frankenstein", then you don't like "Dracula", and I guess I break the stereotype. I enjoyed "Frankenstein", but I absolutely adored this tale. So much intrigue! I love the language and it was nice finally getting to read a classic.
#WomenReading.
pickLoved it. Gothic and terrifying.
I f*cking 🖤 you guys 😂😂😂
My book made it back to me and I'm dying at some of the comments in this! Totally made my day and I'm happy you guys all seemed to enjoy it. And thank you so much for the extra treats and card @StillLookingForCarmenSanDiego You reminded me that I need to get mine out
@Andrea4 your book is heading back to you soon. Don't want you think I forgot about it! Also....I totally forgot about it 🤷♀️
