If you ever thought you might listen to Dracula it is worth getting.
I'm about an hour and a half in and it is simply wonderful. And it opens one's eyes to more about the book itself.
For example, listening to Jonathan Harker talk about his encounter with the vampiresses (yes, I'm positive it is a word), we get titillation (which is definitely there). But we also get an intimate look at how a vampire's victims feel, at why they would allow someone to get that close.
The combination of sexual tension, fascination, and revulsion is really fascinating. It is skillfully done and makes me realize Stoker's craftsmanship with a wonderful story.
If you're not familiar with Sync, SFFaudio did a good post some time ago about how to download Overdrive.
This recording will only be available through Thursday so get it while the getting's good!
