    What a fantastic reading. I have listened to this at the behest of my mother, and it is excellently read! What a story, and the narrator brings such life to it. Excellent job, and I’ll be finishing Dracula in the coming days with the following video!

    I'm blown away by how good Tony Walker is. This sounds so professional and polished, it sounds like something that been produced on Audible. This man truly has talent, it's not just reading it's voice acting. I can't praise Mr. Walker enough, undoubtedly this is some of his best work. Thank you so much for the hard work and effort putting out such quality work for us all to enjoy.

    Harker's journey to, arrival at and imprisonment in Dracula's Castle *does chefs kiss*. Probably my favorite part of any book I've ever read. It goes from creepy and full of dread on the journey to absolute terror being locked in the castle with vampires

    I read this story for my ‘turn of the century’ literature class at Gustavus Adolphus… I was nervous about it because when I was fourteen I found a book about Dracula that scared the life out of me and I had trouble sleeping for over a week. But reading the actual story, surprise, surprise! I loved it! It was so finely written, well paced and detailed enough for me to picture it in my mind without being too much. Whatever the inspirations were for this story, Bram Stoker, you had a true gift!

    • @nicknewman7848
      @nicknewman7848 6 หลายเดือนก่อน

      Opium use, the hypnosis and supernatural craze, an invasion of eastern culture and paranoia about the behaviour of his wife were among some of his inspirations. Some of the Vampire ideas were also inspired by another book which itself was influenced by eastern european folk tales.

I have ADHD and I need background noise, but this has become so much more. I've even bought the physical versions of some of my favorite stories, which are hard to do, because they're all good. Keep them coming Tony! ❤ I struggled with reading as a kid, but because of Tony I've developed such a passion for literature. Thank you Tony.

"Bram Stoker's Dracula 1992" is my favourite version, I don't care if this is not a popular choice, it is mine. I remember being about 9 years old and seeing Christopher Lee in Dracula or In Search of Dracula? And falling in love with him. 😀
    But all this said, I have never read the book, I didn't think I needed to. I didn't realize it was in Diary/Journal Horror form, which I love! This is fantastic! Thank you, What a treasure listening to you read Dracula is!

      As an American, yes, Quincy's accent is great! I kinda have a crush on your rendition of him 😅 Once or twice other accents got slightly mixed in it when you had a lot of characters to transition between, but you do a A+ job with Quincy! All of the accents in this are A++ ​@@ClassicGhost

    Stellar narration Mr. Tony. Like usual, your ethnic accents are authentic and believeable. I've read Dracula several times and watched the film more than a couple times and can honestly say I liked your presentation of it every bit as much. Thanks for your efforts.

    It is a shame YT wouldn't allow you to run the whole audio book narration as a single video though. They do allow sleep and meditation videos to run 24+ hours at the time of my writing (April 2024) including some which are 96 and 120 hours of run time. (No pressure on you, merely information on that change).

    Absolutely love this great gothic horror classic. Phenomenal narration. Personally I have always preferred the opening chapters of this novel as the tension that Stoker creates between the Count and Jonathan Harker is so atmospheric and scary. As we read we get the same feeling of Harker being trapped. After a while the Count plays a cat and mouse game with Harker which makes us feel so despondent for Harker. Big fan of Stokers and I would also recommend his short stories "Draculas Guest", "The Squaw" and "The Judges House". My favourite Vampire story after the masterpiece "Dracula" would be "Salems Lot" by Stephen King.
