"Ich bin Dracula und begrüße Sie, Herr Harker, in meinem Hause. Kommen Sie herein, Sie bedürfen des Essens und der Ruhe, die Nachtluft ist recht kühl. Es ist schon spät und meine Dienerschaft ist nicht mehr verfügbar. Lassen Sie also mich für Ihre Bequemlichkeit sorgen. Jonathan Harker, ein Londoner Anwalt, wird diese unheimliche Einladung niemals vergessen können. Sein Aufenthalt auf Schloss Dracula soll nur der Auftakt einer blutigen Mission sein, die den Grafen nach London führen wird. Doch der Vampirjäger Van Helsing stellt sich dem Untoten entgegen. In Reiseberichten, Briefen und Tagebüchern lassen zwölf Sprecher die Zuhörer an einer schauerlichen Jagd teilhaben, die den Autor Bram Stoker einst zum Urvater des Vampirromans machte."

Rezension(1): "〈a href=http://www.audiofilemagazine.com target=_blank〉〈img src=https://images.contentreserve.com/audiofile_logo.jpg alt=AudioFile Magazine border=0 /〉〈/a〉:DRACULA is one of the most well-known stories in the world, yet Britisher Richard E. Grant manages to wring new life from the Bram Stoker classic. Whether he's voicing the naive Jonathan Harker or any of the frightened townsfolk, Grant is a master storyteller. He effortlessly takes on more than a dozen characters, including the deliciously evil Count Dracula himself, with ease and skill. It comes as no surprise that Grant has appeared in numerous films, including DRACULA. Even in this abridged form, the familiar story of the blood-sucking Transylvanian monster is a chilling testament to the ability of the author who wrote the story more than a century ago. M.S.

Told through a series of letters and diary entries, the novel begins when Count Dracula lures a young English lawyer named Jonathan Harker to his castle in Transylvania under the pretense of a real estate transaction, but Harker soon discovers the count is a vampire and the diabolical intent in the real estate deal. It falls to the resourceful Professor Van Helsing, along with a handful of intrepid heroes, including Harker and his fiancé,, Mina, to stop the count’s evil plans. The readers each have a distinctive voice for their characters and do a perfect job of conveying the emotional content of the assorted letters and diaries. Jamie Parker’s portrayal of Harker is particularly stirring, especially as the character slowly pieces together the horrific truth about Dracula. Alison Pettitt succeeds at providing a gamut of emotions for the voice of Mina throughout the story. Each reader hits the mark with precision. For anyone who has never read (or for anyone looking to revisit) this classic tale of gothic horror, this is a fine way to do so."
