Summary

Random House presents the audiobook edition of Dracul by Dacre Stoker and J.D. Barker, read by Allan Corduner, Pete Bradbury, Raphael Corkhill, Saskia Maarleveld, Alana Kerr Collins and Vikas Adam.

'Listening to Dracul is like being immersed in a classic vampire film . . . a terrifying listen that gave me hours of fun.' R. L. Stine, author of Goosebumps


Dracul reveals not only the true origins of Dracula himself, but also of his creator, Bram Stoker . . . and of the elusive, enigmatic woman who connects them.

It is 1868, and a 22-year-old Bram Stoker has locked himself inside an abbey's tower to face off against a vile and ungodly beast. He is armed with mirrors and crucifixes and holy water and a gun - and is kept company by a bottle of plum brandy. His fervent prayer is that he will survive this one night - a night that will prove to be the longest of his life.

Desperate to leave a record of what he has witnessed, the young man scribbles out the events that brought him to this point - and tells an extraordinary tale of childhood illness, a mysterious nanny, and stories once thought to be fables now proven true.

Inspired by the notes DRACULA's creator left behind, Dracul is a riveting, heart-stoppingly scary novel of Gothic suspense . . .

excellent horror

wonderful narration, I have read this twice now and loved it both times so decided to also have it on audible, it never ceases to scare me and in my view, it is better than Dracula.

Ridraculous!

Not so much the story itself, although the Count’s powers are extravagantly extrapolated from the original. Be prepared to suspend your disbelief more often and more determinedly than before - which would be helped a lot more if the narrators had been speaking with accents and vocabularies suited to their parts, not this mis-matched company. Why, Penguin? Two outright Americans, another trying to sound British. I mean Bram’s sister is American in her letters but either English or Irish elsewhere. Many expressions jump out as anachronistic and frankly some passages are just poorly crafted.
Very well (Dacre & co would say ‘OK’)
that’s me done; I can’t recommend it, but that doesn’t mean you wouldn’t enjoy it.

Terrible Narrator

I can’t listen to this. I’m only on Chapter 6 and Audible won’t let me return it as I returned a few this month. Also unfinished due to terrible narration. This is clearly an American trying to do British accents that sounds neither English nor Irish. I can’t. Waste of a credit.

Inconsistent accents distract from a good story

I’m two hours in and have become quite distracted by the accent attempts from the cast. I’d rather they didn’t bother...

I listen to loads of audio books but I might give up on this..
