There's a reason why it's called "Classic"


The count, originally uploaded by geekgirlunveiled.

For the RIP Challenge, I also read Bram Stoker's Dracula. I thought this was particularly appropriate because I have never read it, although some of my favorite creepy classics include Frankenstein and Dr. Jekyll and Mr. Hyde.

I LOVED it. Wow, this is a fantastic novel. I had a difficult time not skipping to the end to see if the characters made it. I knew the story, (sort of,) because of the many screen adaptations. "Nosferatu," (the unauthorized German adaptation starring Max Schreck,) seems to me to be most faithful to the tone. That guy is creepy!

Next, I re-read Dr. Jekyll and Mr. Hyde. Are you kidding?!! Of course I had to re-read it, since I'd read the other two, they're practically an unholy trilogy.

Next up: The Gunslinger. No, I've never read that either.

This has been a RIP Challenge.
