I really appreciate your reading. It feels professional without being overly produced, and you can hear the pages turning. It reminds me of how people used to sit around and read to each other for entertainment, and now we're doing it on TH-cam. This is one of those books that I have always wanted to read but haven't gotten around to it. Thanks so much for taking the time to make something enjoyable but not mind-numbing like so many things on TH-cam.
I work in IT, I’m glued to the computer screen 11 hours a day. I carve out time after work to walk 2 miles in the woods every night to clear my head. I struggle to find something to listen to that keeps my attention, often finding myself going through like 20 videos trying to find the perfect one. I randomly found this reading tonight, started it on my walk, and listened to the first 40 minutes absolutely entranced. I can’t wait for my daily walk over the next many days while I work through the seven hours of this reading. Thanks dude. It’s absolutely pitch perfect.
Im well late to the party, but I’m finally pursuing college at 25 and my English 102 class is on Dracula. With 2 kids and a full time job, actually reading the book is almost impossible but Ive been able to throw your reading on and am excelling in class. You’re a lifesaver and have a great skill at this.
Thanks so much Scott! That's a beautiful way of describing it. I hope you're enjoying chapters 11-15 as well and know that chapters 16 and 17 are on their way 👌
@@redfoxvoice Thank you Steven I look forward to hearing your adaptation. It's totally Amazing. You have a way that is lost today . My favorite all time classic . Bram Stoker would be honored with your version of his beloved classic .
This isn't an audiobook. This is sitting with a new friend and enjoying a book together. Utterly sublime, it's truly balm for a troubled soul in the complete and utter raging thunderdump that is current world/year
Hi Jen loved your comment and know what you mean about the last year. So pleased Steven has been able to provide a little oasis of calm in your day.🌴 Kind regards from Yorkshire 😘 Mamma Fox Steve's mum x
I love that TH-cam comments are like a time capsule, you often find yourself discovering something new and seeing someone’s thoughts on it from years ago… “Sublime” is the perfect adjective for this reading, I’m just getting started, almost through the first hour, it’s absolutely impeccable and it’s just getting started.
I must pause in my listening to write that your choice of accent for Dracula, along with this particular cadence and intonation, brings him fully to life. One does not even need a visual performance to perceive the ancient decadence, the malice, the barely bridled power. In your hands he is both delightful and menacing.
Just wanted to say thank you. For some reason Dracula has always been the book I pick up on nights I had trouble sleeping or was feeling anxious. I probably know it by heart now. You version has become my go to audio book. Maybe it's your voice or the diffrent accents but it calms me so much!
Just listened to the first chapter, great reading ♥️♥️♥️ I read somewhere many years ago, that when Stoker was asked how the idea of "Dracula" had come to him, he said that he had bad crab salad in a restaurant in Whitby, and, as everyone knows, bad crab salad inevitably gives you nightmares.
You've heard the expression "lifting the words off the page"? Well, Mr. Garnett does it! And when he does he then puts 'life' into them! He makes you want to go back and re-read the book. Great job by Mr. Garnett...!
I honestly could’nt have made it through until the end without your videos. Its fascinating to see how well you can read so many different characters pov with your own voice and make them actually sound diffrent and not forced. Keep up the good work!
I appreciate how clear your voice is. You don’t over do it with the accents and you speak with a slow clear voice that is great for a person like me who struggles with keeping up
I have a bit of a problem with reading, i can never focus and it’s very hard for me to go through long chapters. But i really wanted to follow Dracula Daily this year, so it really helps me so much to read along with you each day when a new chapter drops. Thank you so much for such a lovely reading
I usually listen to audio books to send me to sleep. This full rendition of Bram Stokers, Dracula, has reminded me of the forgotten excitement, and anticipation of horror and passion, that once excited me when in my early teens. Thanks for taking me back.
had a sick day today off school and got through the entire book in one day thanks so much for your very engaging and articulate craftsmanship in portraying this book in the light it deserves
Just when I think “Can he do this accent,” he does! Great job, you really give the characters life. Also, I really appreciate the music between chapters. :D
This is an excellent narration of this horror classic. The page shuffling adds validity to the story and makes the journal entries of each character spring to life. I have read Dracula before but was unable, in my mind, to make it live. This narrator does a superb job in making each character, whether man, monster or woman, believable. I know this won’t be my only hearing of this work so masterfully performed by Steven Garnett.
Wow, Steven. This was, of all the audio books I listened to, one of the best, rivaling great, great expensive works with many voice actors and big budgets. You alone delivered an atmosphere, emotion and tension like few others I heard before. Your voice acting is supreme, every character being unique and authentic, and the emotional weight of their parts believable and true. The audio quality is great, the brushing of the pages comforting and homely, as though we sat at a great big fireplace and you read to an audience of scared but excited children, however once you start, one can't help but lose all that and dive into the story. This is a proper great work, thank you for providing it, and free for all of all things!
Thank you so much for this reading of Stoker's masterpiece. I have read it several times over the last 50 years and always find something more in it. Your reading allows me to experience it in a new light. Again, thank you.
I don’t usually leave comments on youtube videos but I felt obligated to genuinely thank you for this stunning audiobook. You are an enthralling reader - I caught myself crying at the end; your acting is so heartfelt and full of genuine emotion. This was my first time experiencing this novel and I’m already sure it’s a new favourite - your stunning reading and voice-acting will be in my heart whenever I inevitably reread it :)
I am on strict bedrest, so this reading has been quite welcome. Your voice is wonderful, expressive but not overdone, and behind the resonance is a kind of deep purr.
I have to study Dracula for my A Level English lit. this helped so much as being a slow reader this would have taken me an eternity to read. I listen to your video while following along with my text. thank you so much!!
The Dracula performance was the best of many audiobooks I've listened to. It transported me to another dimension! You made the characters come to life so beautifully. Thank you!
Finding this, as a Texan, I have to say that the voice used for Quincy Morris makes my day. It is not accurate, but it is good for the character as he himself is a bit of a Englishman's idea of what a stereotypical Texan sounds like. I mean this with adoration and endearment, so please don't read this as criticism! It genuinely made the listening experience for me 10 times better lol.
Listening to you read I forget the book was written by someone from 200 years ago. You make this story yours and present it personally. Thank you for dedicating your time for us. I look forward to more of your readings.
I was helping my English teacher recommend this video so that my classmates could listen to it, and my dumbass almost commented on your nice voice first instead of the fact that the original book was actually being read. Good job, you managed to immerse me so well in the story that I forgot to actually talk about it XD
I just discovered this after watching the Castlevania series. I have read the book before, but this rendition breathes new life into the undead Count. I can visit Transylvania anytime while cleaning the house thanks to you.
I normally don't like to listen to audiobooks, but since dracula is my favorite book, i needed to try in audiobook format, and this is amazing! Love your voiceacting, it made it so fun, and an whole other experience, rather than just reading it in ones own silent company :-) Love this!
I know Steven reads all comments and he'll love yours! Stoker's great nephew Dacre Stoker an author himself loved Steven's audiobook and arranged to meet him in Whitby last year. There's a photo of them together on Steven's Community Page. Greetings from Mamma Fox in Yorkshire 😊
One of my favorite things is to read old books....there is something about worn leather bindings, the yellowing of the pages and texture of the paper itself....somehow, the more gauze-like the paper the easier to read....listening to pages being turned lends more authenticity to your reading somehow.... Now, back to this well read book....thanks...!!!
Absolutely Perfect, Shannon! We decided to go from cold to A/C time in two days, here.🤷♀️. I’m only putting it to 80, and it’s still kicking on! 😩. Boy, I’ve missed chatting with my foxy foxy book friends in just 1 1/2 days☹️.
I've fallen asleep listening to your soothing voice all night out of exhaustion of the day but woken up to horror and surprise whenever an intense scene would come up. You and the way you narrated the book is top-notch. Thank you for the best experience ever!
Thank you friend Kitty for not only leaving heart-warming comments over the last couple of weeks, but for also dropping Super Thanks here and over on A Little Princess!
this is such a stunning reading!! thank you for keeping me company these past weeks as I worked through pilles of mindless paperwork. It was a delight to listen to your voice, friend Steven, thank you for this amazing audiobook.
You give the characters so much life through the way you speak. And your voice for Van Helsing has become the voice I use whenever I bring up the character
Love your reading! Your voice is clear and soothing and I love hearing you turn the pages. As I lay in bed recovering from Covid-19, your reading has been a Godsend for me. I have been too weak to do much of anything except snuggle in bed and listen to your wonderful story telling. Thank you sir. God bless.
So glad I stumbled upon this on your video! I tried reading Dracula in elementary school and found it way too boring for my young mind. Now that I'm an adult, I love reading, but my ADHD has caught up to me. I absol cannot focus on books like I used to. I also work jobs ans hardly have time to read, but now I can listen to you while I work!
Great stuff here! I really appreciate the subtlety of Dracula's accent. So many people use the overly cliché Transylvanian accent when voicing Dracula, whereas yours gives off a feeling of real person's voice. The way you narrate is also good- you don't read too fast or too slow.
I agree, this is superb. I also recommend Great Gatsby read by Jake Gyllenhall (not kidding, it’s great) and To Kill a Mockingbird - I forget who reads it, but a woman with perfect ‘Scout’ voice. Also Catcher in the Rye (I forget the reader but again it was great) These helped me through the pandemic lockdown in a big way.
i was having SO much trouble reading this and getting in the mood to read it, or understanding it. this is absolutely perfect. i can’t wait to read this and move on to part 2 and 3!! and i love how the chapters are easily split up, this is amazing!
We saw The Last Voyager of the Demeter and had so many questions. We had read the novel many years before. I found your superb read and once started, couldn't stop listening. Thank you for many hours of perfection and imagination! Continued success in all you do ❤
This reading is beautiful it made me cry it reminded me of how my grandad used to read to me when I was little before bed accents and all I havnt seen him for about a year now and I miss him so much I’ll be listening to this on repeat not to mention how much I love this book 😭🖤
Please be aware, as a young child (many decades ago) I have enjoyed reading and once into a book i seek every spare moment to continue reading it/them until conclusion - however their have been some books that I wish to read but find it impossible to get into - Dracula was one such book - I attempted to read it a number of times without getting past chapter four - now... time is difficult to find in this day and age - however your reading of this great book has made it achievable for me to finally get engrossed and enjoy this story - I can not thank you enough for all of your efforts in putting this post together - I now eagerly look forward to hearing you in part 2 - my honest thanks to you once again.
Absolutely phenomenal performance, I love the accents, the emotion and desperation in Jonathan's voice. It's all wonderful. Looking forward to starting part 2 tomorrow!
This is amazing work - grateful to have found this channel. Whenever I read Dracula, in my mind, it's always shaped by the Coppola film (which I adore) - this gave me a new picture. Ace.
I am not an Audio Book Fan, I tolerated the sci fi ones that I had to listen to when moving long distance, and the Harry Potter Collection my Ex Brother Law listened to in my days off.. However, I came across your Secret Garden, and lol I pulled out my copy, :-) I’ve had since I was10.. I had a good conversation with my aunt who gifted me the book and bookmark from my great grandmother.. At any rate, I thank you and I’ve tried to read this book several times and hopefully with your help I will.. I apologise for the lengthy comment.. I truly actually enjoy your audio books.. Thank You.. :-) I think I like it because it’s the way you are reading, there is no rush in getting through the book..
Mr. Garnett thank you for replying so quickly. Well this explains everything. I had begun to listen to someone else’s reading of the book but have not found it as enjoyable, so I will wait for yours. Thanks again for your reply.
Thank you so much for not interrupting the mood and flow by announcing at the beginning of each chapter, as some other audiobook readings do, with "This is a [such-and-such] recording and is in the public domain . . ." etc. And thanks also for having such an excellent reading style.
I tried to read this to fall asleep, but was too engrossed so I was awake to 2AM. :) Dracula is one of my favorite books, I'm very much enjoying your reading thus far! ❤ Finally, an 'adaptation' of Dracula that's likely to do Van Hellsing justice.
Random comment: the narration and the comments here really reinforce the views I'm developing about music production. Over-production can be sterile and distancing but it's presumed no one can stomach anything less. The opposite is true. There's an appetite for what is professional without being 'fussy' to the point of eliminating, rather than disclosing, the human element. People want what is still human. What great reading.

Cheers mate!
Thanks, very helpful
Tysm
thank you!! I am also reading the physical copy but listen when I can't physically read.. helpful while driving and doing art projects.
This is an excellent narration of this horror classic. The page shuffling adds validity to the story and makes the journal entries of each character spring to life. I have read Dracula before but was unable, in my mind, to make it live. This narrator does a superb job in making each character, whether man, monster or woman, believable. I know this won’t be my only hearing of this work so masterfully performed by Steven Garnett.
Wow, Steven. This was, of all the audio books I listened to, one of the best, rivaling great, great expensive works with many voice actors and big budgets. You alone delivered an atmosphere, emotion and tension like few others I heard before. Your voice acting is supreme, every character being unique and authentic, and the emotional weight of their parts believable and true. The audio quality is great, the brushing of the pages comforting and homely, as though we sat at a great big fireplace and you read to an audience of scared but excited children, however once you start, one can't help but lose all that and dive into the story. This is a proper great work, thank you for providing it, and free for all of all things!
MASSIVE thanks for such high praise!
I came to say all the same things! Very well done!!
Your voice for Dracula is genuinely so good, everytime you speak in his voice I have to pause whatever im doing just to listen to it in full!
Thank you so much for this reading of Stoker's masterpiece. I have read it several times over the last 50 years and always find something more in it. Your reading allows me to experience it in a new light. Again, thank you.
This audiobook is so good that when i read the book, i imagine his voice and pacing.
I don’t usually leave comments on youtube videos but I felt obligated to genuinely thank you for this stunning audiobook. You are an enthralling reader - I caught myself crying at the end; your acting is so heartfelt and full of genuine emotion. This was my first time experiencing this novel and I’m already sure it’s a new favourite - your stunning reading and voice-acting will be in my heart whenever I inevitably reread it :)
I am on strict bedrest, so this reading has been quite welcome. Your voice is wonderful, expressive but not overdone, and behind the resonance is a kind of deep purr.
Your reading is intriguing ,varied and beautifully presented.
I have to study Dracula for my A Level English lit. this helped so much as being a slow reader this would have taken me an eternity to read. I listen to your video while following along with my text. thank you so much!!
Masterful reading paired with an incredibly powerful voice and accent. Thank you.
The Dracula performance was the best of many audiobooks I've listened to. It transported me to another dimension! You made the characters come to life so beautifully. Thank you!
Finding this, as a Texan, I have to say that the voice used for Quincy Morris makes my day. It is not accurate, but it is good for the character as he himself is a bit of a Englishman's idea of what a stereotypical Texan sounds like. I mean this with adoration and endearment, so please don't read this as criticism! It genuinely made the listening experience for me 10 times better lol.
Listening to you read I forget the book was written by someone from 200 years ago. You make this story yours and present it personally. Thank you for dedicating your time for us. I look forward to more of your readings.
I was helping my English teacher recommend this video so that my classmates could listen to it, and my dumbass almost commented on your nice voice first instead of the fact that the original book was actually being read. Good job, you managed to immerse me so well in the story that I forgot to actually talk about it XD
I just discovered this after watching the Castlevania series. I have read the book before, but this rendition breathes new life into the undead Count. I can visit Transylvania anytime while cleaning the house thanks to you.
I normally don't like to listen to audiobooks, but since dracula is my favorite book, i needed to try in audiobook format, and this is amazing! Love your voiceacting, it made it so fun, and an whole other experience, rather than just reading it in ones own silent company :-) Love this!
What an incredible gem this man has given us, what a storyteller, it is alive. Stoker himself would listen rapt.
I know Steven reads all comments and he'll love yours! Stoker's great nephew Dacre Stoker an author himself loved Steven's audiobook and arranged to meet him in Whitby last year. There's a photo of them together on Steven's Community Page. Greetings from Mamma Fox in Yorkshire 😊
@@jangarnett858 Thanks, Jan! What a great experience that must have been, makes me happy to imagine it.
It was indeed! I was lucky enough to meet him too....a lovely gentleman who travelled over from his home in 🇨🇦 🍁 Canada
One of my favorite things is to read old books....there is something about worn leather bindings, the yellowing of the pages and texture of the paper itself....somehow, the more gauze-like the paper the easier to read....listening to pages being turned lends more authenticity to your reading somehow....
Now, back to this well read book....thanks...!!!
Do not forget about the smell of old books!
Lovely thing to listen too while its storming outside!
Absolutely Perfect, Shannon! We decided to go from cold to A/C time in two days, here.🤷♀️. I’m only putting it to 80, and it’s still kicking on! 😩. Boy, I’ve missed chatting with my foxy foxy book friends in just 1 1/2 days☹️.
I've fallen asleep listening to your soothing voice all night out of exhaustion of the day but woken up to horror and surprise whenever an intense scene would come up. You and the way you narrated the book is top-notch. Thank you for the best experience ever!
Perfect voice for this. Just the right amount of gravity
Appreciate it, thank you!
Thanks
Thank you friend Kitty for not only leaving heart-warming comments over the last couple of weeks, but for also dropping Super Thanks here and over on A Little Princess!
I love listening to audio books like this while I play video games like skyrim, makes me feel productive even when I'm lazy
this is such a stunning reading!! thank you for keeping me company these past weeks as I worked through pilles of mindless paperwork.
It was a delight to listen to your voice, friend Steven, thank you for this amazing audiobook.
Thank you, really grateful! :)
You give the characters so much life through the way you speak. And your voice for Van Helsing has become the voice I use whenever I bring up the character
Better than Netflix ! 💯💯💯
Best audiobook guy on TH-cam no doubt.
Seriously nice of you to say, thanks!
What an amazing gift you've given the world with this beautiful reading of a classic
Love your reading! Your voice is clear and soothing and I love hearing you turn the pages. As I lay in bed recovering from Covid-19, your reading has been a Godsend for me. I have been too weak to do much of anything except snuggle in bed and listen to your wonderful story telling. Thank you sir. God bless.
I myself struggle reading 5:39:25 yet I had to speed it up to 1.25x
So glad I stumbled upon this on your video! I tried reading Dracula in elementary school and found it way too boring for my young mind. Now that I'm an adult, I love reading, but my ADHD has caught up to me. I absol cannot focus on books like I used to. I also work jobs ans hardly have time to read, but now I can listen to you while I work!
Your reading voice is beautiful. So appropriate for the story.
Thank you for narrating one of my favorite books.
Great stuff here! I really appreciate the subtlety of Dracula's accent. So many people use the overly cliché Transylvanian accent when voicing Dracula, whereas yours gives off a feeling of real person's voice. The way you narrate is also good- you don't read too fast or too slow.
So glad you are back. I was heartbroken when your work disappeared; lost, set adrift.
Mr. "Harker", you're absolutely captivating. I may never read again lol...
😆 I second that
@@cate4404 I third that 😂😂
stokers writing Is almost addictive. The story just grabs you and takes you on a journey . You can see why his writing has stood the test of time
The voices, the music, the accents. It's clear to me how much care you put into these and the results are fantastic!
Excellent reading thank you. Best reading on TH-cam.
Well said 👏
This is my new favorite book, it is exciting, sad, scary, hopeful, a master peice of literature.
Really great reading,top notch voice, pacing, sound. Excellent.
Best audiobook I have ever heard. The atmosphere it's superb, and I fully love your interpretation on dracula's voice.
I agree, this is superb. I also recommend Great Gatsby read by Jake Gyllenhall (not kidding, it’s great) and To Kill a Mockingbird - I forget who reads it, but a woman with perfect ‘Scout’ voice. Also Catcher in the Rye (I forget the reader but again it was great) These helped me through the pandemic lockdown in a big way.
This is a great reading of a creepy novel. Well done!
Thank you!
i was having SO much trouble reading this and getting in the mood to read it, or understanding it. this is absolutely perfect. i can’t wait to read this and move on to part 2 and 3!! and i love how the chapters are easily split up, this is amazing!
We saw The Last Voyager of the Demeter and had so many questions. We had read the novel many years before. I found your superb read and once started, couldn't stop listening. Thank you for many hours of perfection and imagination! Continued success in all you do ❤
Thanks so much for this!
What a tremendous achievement. Absolutely loved it. BRAVO!
Very kind, thank you!
This reading is beautiful it made me cry it reminded me of how my grandad used to read to me when I was little before bed accents and all I havnt seen him for about a year now and I miss him so much I’ll be listening to this on repeat not to mention how much I love this book 😭🖤
How sad but how sweet... thank you!
Please be aware, as a young child (many decades ago) I have enjoyed reading and once into a book i seek every spare moment to continue reading it/them until conclusion - however their have been some books that I wish to read but find it impossible to get into - Dracula was one such book - I attempted to read it a number of times without getting past chapter four - now... time is difficult to find in this day and age - however your reading of this great book has made it achievable for me to finally get engrossed and enjoy this story - I can not thank you enough for all of your efforts in putting this post together - I now eagerly look forward to hearing you in part 2 - my honest thanks to you once again.
Absolutely phenomenal performance, I love the accents, the emotion and desperation in Jonathan's voice. It's all wonderful. Looking forward to starting part 2 tomorrow!
This is amazing work - grateful to have found this channel. Whenever I read Dracula, in my mind, it's always shaped by the Coppola film (which I adore) - this gave me a new picture. Ace.
I am not an Audio Book Fan, I tolerated the sci fi ones that I had to listen to when moving long distance, and the Harry Potter Collection my Ex Brother Law listened to in my days off.. However, I came across your Secret Garden, and lol I pulled out my copy, :-) I’ve had since I was10.. I had a good conversation with my aunt who gifted me the book and bookmark from my great grandmother.. At any rate, I thank you and I’ve tried to read this book several times and hopefully with your help I will.. I apologise for the lengthy comment.. I truly actually enjoy your audio books.. Thank You.. :-) I think I like it because it’s the way you are reading, there is no rush in getting through the book..
Yeah so many audio books are hard to listen to but he keeps listen fun.
Mr. Garnett thank you for replying so quickly. Well this explains everything. I had begun to listen to someone else’s reading of the book but have not found it as enjoyable, so I will wait for yours. Thanks again for your reply.
Thank you so much for not interrupting the mood and flow by announcing at the beginning of each chapter, as some other audiobook readings do, with "This is a [such-and-such] recording and is in the public domain . . ." etc.
And thanks also for having such an excellent reading style.
I like the sound of the page turn
Edit: Great audiobook, the reader speaks clearly and with emphasis. Doesn’t have a lot of ads like some other audiobooks.
There should only be one ad, exactly halfway through, at about 3:53:00
Are you skipping about in the video, or just letting it play?
oh I must I’ve confused it with another audio book, you’re right.
I tried to read this to fall asleep, but was too engrossed so I was awake to 2AM. :) Dracula is one of my favorite books, I'm very much enjoying your reading thus far! ❤ Finally, an 'adaptation' of Dracula that's likely to do Van Hellsing justice.
Your voice is so comforting & suitably for this story well done 👏 I am really enjoying listening to x
I have to spend the final days of 2020 in isolation (thanks, covid) and this audiobook is getting me through it! Thank you.
That is rough Lili! But I'm glad my humble production is helping things a little :)
Great story teller. Such attention to detail.
Listened to this all in one sitting, best audio book I've ever heard! ❤
Love this! Thanks!
What a great narration, Mr. Garnett. Thank you!
Very kind, thanks!
You are the best narrator I’ve come across! Thank you for sharing
Really appreciate that, thank you!
It’s a rare feat that an audiobook gets me so invested. I genuinely got the shivers when the Count made his first appearance.
Love to hear that! Thanks!
perfect narration,the cough turning pages, best real narration i have heard,you made it a book being read,thanks well done 5 star excellent
Excellent and impressive narration. thanks so much. It was great!
I chose to read Dracula for extra credit but unfortunately, I have the worst attention span when it comes to reading, this was a great help!
i thought of listening to an ebook while i sleep. dracula came to mind and thought how fitting. your voice is made to read this book.
Excellent read! Thank you very much.
A very late reply, but thanks!
Perfect narrator along with the greatest book! Thanks, from Texas.
Literally falls in love only by hearing the pages turn ❤️
Random comment: the narration and the comments here really reinforce the views I'm developing about music production. Over-production can be sterile and distancing but it's presumed no one can stomach anything less. The opposite is true. There's an appetite for what is professional without being 'fussy' to the point of eliminating, rather than disclosing, the human element. People want what is still human. What great reading.
