Having an Irish writer does not an Irish novel make.

Like The Remains of the Day is not a Japanese book despite Ishiguro's nationality.
The feel of the book, the characters, the action, all British (in the precise sense).
James Joyce's books are Irish; Dracula is not.
That was my point.
I shall have to be more careful about ensuring all of the words are in my posts in the future.

I've been wanting to read Dracula for a while.

It has been a while since I read it (should probably do something about that), but I think I agree.

I have a copy here if you want to borrow. (I read it on my Kindle this time.)

You know, I have to agree with Cannoli, though without the all caps and the queen-fucking.

I won't be as mad as Cannoli, or pedantic as Tom but it is an Irish novel

here there are no misunderstood pacifist bloodsuckers, supernatural heroes or sparkles.

A fun little travel piece about Whitby, where an important part of Dracula is set.
