And since the unspoken comparison between Frankenstein and Dracula’s in the air, I’ll just say I found the latter a poor read. It was strong in the beginning, but following the Demeter sequence, it became tedious, with effete/obnoxious speech patterns, interminable blood transfusions, and Van Helsing’s general quakery robbing the proceedings of any vigor the story previously possessed. I had to struggle to get through the entire book.
