I read Dracula for the first time about a year ago. I’m also not a big horror fan in general, but I absolutely loved it and – even with knowing about Dracula just from popular culture – found it genuinely creepy. It was also really interesting how Dracula was defeated not just by the heroes’ actions in the conventional sense but also by the conventional trappings of modernity. Things like calendars, railway timetables, and bills of sale play a surprisingly outsize role.
