What book are you currently reading?
Dracula
by Bram Stoker
How far in are you?
About a third
What's it about?
Count Dracula leaves Transylvania and comes to London to nibble people.
Are you enjoying it?
Far, far more than I expected to. It's told in diary excerpts, letters, articles, etc which keeps the point of view changing and tells a wonderfully layered story. It's thoroughly unnerving in places, and the vampire horror canon (bats, wolves, garlic, scaling walls upside down etc.) doesn't even read as cliché, which really surprises me.
