Desparation, what made me to catch up this weird novel! I was tired by those heavy science and Math books when I was surprisingly presented this book...Certainly it helped me a lot to get out of the hangovers of some philosophical books which I kept reading time to time...but it gave me some sleepless nights too...but I won't bother until I get hands on something interesting!
Scaringly(for me atleast...!), I started reading this creepy book in the night, somewhere around midnight :-0(I still can't resist myself thinking that why I did that?????!!!!!!) Anyway, those crosses used to dance around me in the dreams which were very important part of the novel...but thankgod that I can call it a dream because the cross used to save the narrator from the Dracula...or else today, I wouldn't have been here writing this review ;) Every small noise made me to think that Dracula is here to suck my blood....Yikes! (How childish...no?) and every black dress compelled me to suspect whether this person is actually a human or...( now, u won't believe that to what an extent this book helped to believe god...you see!!)...
Nights became horrifying and the noons passed thinking of the night...I got Paranoid!!!!!!! (I certainly agree with sociologists who say that TV has some horrifying effects on children...see, the days when I was reading this most scaring novel...I catched up an episode of Travelers on Discovery and they were telling something about Dracula[what a coincidence...]and what they told was certainly terrifying...they said that Dracula actually existed, he was a very very cruel king[sorry...I don't remember the place name]and they showed the grave of Dracula...and I almost screamed!!!!!...Now, you can very well see that I have some very logical reasons to believe these sociologists ;)
I was at a very fast pace...though I skipped some pages which had nothing but some love letters of the narrator's beloved...(I found them intrrupting in the horror and I didn't had patience to wait for the next incident...)(Is it not surprising that I kept on reading the novel even then...when I knew that Dracula actually existed...??????) Dracula became an invariable part of my dreams...or should I say...nightmares???...Insomnia was miles away from me but I didn't slept and can you ever imagine that I just could not consult a doctor even...!!!!...Imagine my situation......###
The date of may 4(it is in the novel that in christianity it is believed that on 4 may...ghosts come to visit the earth...)and dogs crying in the night actually made my heart beat fastly than ever. And then finally, the day came when the novel ended after soooooo many days' scares and suspect...(on the black dress...remember??????) but weirdly, I was more scared now...the narrator has escaped from blood sucking dracula but now...what if ME????????? (well, I know...this is stupid but human psychology you see...)
Well, somedays later...when my fear was over, a funny incident happened to me...I thought of sharing this amazing book with my friends but to my utter astonishment...I was scolded by their parents for giving some creepy books which can destroy their minds....lol :-) Not knowing that Dracula doesn't exist....hahahaha....huh...wait a minute....
Who's that black shadow behind me...................................
