Story
Narrator Dan Stevens ( Downton Abbey) presents an uncanny performance of Mary Shelley's timeless gothic novel, an epic battle between man and monster at its greatest literary pitch. In trying to create life, the young student Victor Frankenstein unleashes forces beyond his control, setting into motion a long and tragic chain of events that brings Victor to the very brink of madness. How he tries to destroy his creation, as it destroys everything Victor loves, is a powerful story of love, friendship, scientific hubris, and horror.

Story
Published as a 'shilling shocker', Robert Louis Stevenson's dark psychological fantasy gave birth to the idea of the split personality. The story of respectable Dr Jekyll's strange association with 'damnable young man' Edward Hyde, the hunt through fog-bound London for a killer, and the final revelation of Hyde's true identity is a chilling exploration of humanity's basest capacity for evil. The other stories in this volume also testify to Stevenson's inventiveness within the Gothic genre.

Publisher's Summary
For a century Bram Stoker's Dracula has reigned supreme as the undisputed masterpiece of horror writing. We have all grown up under the shadow of the elegant Count, at once an attractive, brutal, and erotic creature of the night.
In 1897 Bram Stoker wrote a story expressing the most persistent nightmare of the human condition. Take this opportunity to dream again.

Faultless
Skillful, sensitive and faultless performances by all of the narrators. I have listened to this audiobook several times, and yet the depth of author Bram Stoker’s understanding of human nature and the richness of his characters continues to surprise and satisfy. It’s a very long and detailed piece, so be prepared to take your time.

The Idea of the 'New Woman' - Mina
Mina's character was interesting, in contrast with Lucy. If you have watched the Netflix series, you will be amazed by the actual story. It has far more to offer than just 'Jonathan Harker's Journal'. It made me think about Mina's position as a 'New Woman'. In my opinion, her character is centred around the idea of a 'Victorian Woman'. Stoker withdraws this inspiration from Collins's - The Woman in White. The first film based on Dracula was 'Nosferatu: A Symphony of Horror.' In the movie, F.W.Murnau combines, Mina's and Lucy characteristics and produces 'Ellen'. She is a New Woman who is not governed by men, unlike Mina, who is continuously sidelined by the men around her.

Great reading
There are, apparently, three ways to do Dracula as an audiobook.
One is to have a single reader do the whole thing. There are many fine examples of this on Audible, but my personal favorite is the one by Simon Vance.
Another is to have one man read all the men's parts and one woman read both Lucy and Mina. A good example of this is the reading by Greg Wise and Saskia Reeves.
A third is to assign each character to a different reader, as here. When it works, it's great. The book is composed of letters and journals by a number of people, and by assigning each to a different reader you get a greater variety of interpretations. (The drawback is that sometimes when reading one of the journals, the voice of another character shows up in the dialogue: so does Reader A try to mimic Reader B? And you're likely to get as many different accents for Van Helsing as there are readers. But that's not much of an issue here.)
Audible, of course, has produced their own multivoice reading of Dracula. It's good, but it's marred by a highly praised but (to me) lackluster performance by Alan Cumming as Dr Seward. This reading, in my opinion, is better all around. I enjoyed it as my third trip through the novel.

One of the best performances ever.
I have searched Audible for the best version of Dracula. I have found two.
1. Dracula Naxos audio.
2. Dracula Classics collection.
1. Dracula Naxos audio version.
The actors live their parts in this version of Dracula. My personal favorites were Jamie Parker who narrated the parts written by Jonathon Harker. Out of all the versions on this site, his is the best when conveying the horror of Jonathon's situation.
Another personal favorite was Allyson Pettitt's portrayal of Mina. She captured the image of a sweet, and wise woman willing to stand and fight for those she loves.
I highly recommend this performance to anyone interested in the Grandfather of modern vampire fiction.

Great!
While some my find this book too "old fashioned to compete with the modern day Vampire stories and movies. This audio book was a eye opener for this listener. For the time period that it was written, Bram Stoker was a feminist! This book is a balance of male and female strength working together to defeat the Vampire. Having gone to a Catholic school, I did not have the opportunity to read this as a young person. I am glad I waited because I was happily surprised that this story did not run to the typical fair we see now. Thank you to all the narrators, great job!

True Classic Never Die
Having thoroughly enjoyed Nick Sandys' terrific narration on the Amazon Classics Edition of Dracula, I figured I'd check out other productions with a cast reading the different parts. The Naxos Audiobook production is top-notch from start to finish with perfect voice-acting from all the cast members. From Jamie Parker's horror and anguish-ridden turn as Jonathan Harker, Alison Petitt's turn as the wise, brave, and compassionate Mina Murray/Harker whom provides much the moral compass to our cast of heroes, Joseph Kloska's turn as the determined and brave Dr. Jon Seward, and lastly David Horovitch as the iconic Dutch vampire hunter Abraham Van Helsing who turns in an eclectic range of charisma, compassion, charm, and kindness in his performance. Does a solid job with the Dutch accent too. Can't recommend this nearly enough, and goes to show when you have a top quality production you can really bring a story to life in a way that just merely reading it cannot not do.

It was ok
This book was my first exposure to Bram Stoker's Dracula. I've read and listened to modern vampire books but had never experienced this classic and decided to try this version. I liked that the different characters were voiced by different narrators although it did get confusing when they were reading the journals and speaking in another character's voice/part. Also, all the old-fashioned language was difficult to follow. I'm glad we've simplified our speaking and writing, so we don't use 20 words when five will suffice.
