Dracula by Bram Stoker, Chapters 21-27

[@paigebeth4741]

I always feel so soooo sad for Renfield. You did an excellent job as painting him as the victim more than the mad man.

[@ClassicGhost]

+@paigebeth4741 yes he gets the rough end of the stick

[@davidcolley7714]

@@ClassicGhost "Rough end of the stick". Master of the understatement Mr Walker

[@L.L.V.N.]

I feel quite the same way 😔

[@banterj]

On the second book…Whew!you have a new fan.Jumping from character to character with the accents?…I am won over…nothing I enjoy more than a long form video,bring it on,I can take it!

[@banterj]

This was absolutely fantastic.i enjoyed how much effort you put into transitioning between characters and accents.I am a first time consumer of your work and really enjoyed myself

[@ClassicGhost]

Wow, thank you! Very kind!

[@SMichaelDeHart]

Tony, I've just finished listening to your version of this great classic. You brought it to life, and I really appreciate your efforts. You brought it to life. Thank you!!

[@ProperWasteman]

I struggle with reading books. Something I wish I could do but never have been able to for some reason. this was the first audiobook I’ve listen to and really enjoyed it, thank you for doing this!

[@ClassicGhost]

Glad I could help!

[@matthbhhh2439]

You’re really great. The sincerity and talent of your voice, and your love of your dogs even if they interrupt bc you didn’t take them out on said day. Thank you sir

[@Phantomgirl222]

This is my favorite book ever. I’m so glad you have this one. I can literally close my eyes and see the images in my head like seeing it in person. Your voice makes it sound so alive.

[@scottkeeler2306]

Very wonderful narration and so skillfully executed. You have dramatically improved the a great story.

[@Nicky-n4p]

Thank you for doing this wonderful story justice

[@ourdictatorship]

Thanks - I had been confused at the end and actually scrubbed back over it the first time, but never got around to buying a paper (or e-) copy (or just going to another channel) to figure out what had happened. Your dedication to detail is commendable, sir!

[@chebbohagop]

I just finished my first “reading” of ‘Dracula’ with you - thank you Tony Walker! Magnificent!!

[@creestone8497]

This was my first time through this book. Absolutely brilliant. Dreary, immersive, and even romantic at times. At first I believed the death or “genuine death” of Dracula was anticlimactic. I was imagining a vicious fight in the castle ruins.. I was disappointed initially, but then I had an epiphany. It was subtle, simple, and deserving. Not everything has to be over the top like a Marvel movie. It was the perfect ending of an era, moreso reality based and beautiful for that. Bravo to the narration as well. Splendid and I’ll be looking for more!! 🙏✌️🙏

[@imh9524]

What a great story, and a great reading. Listening to it throughout the week, I hardly wanted it to finish! Fantastic effort, Tony. Thanks!

[@ClassicGhost]

Glad you enjoyed it!

Thank you for this Tony as we appreciate production levels as high as yours must take time. For what it's worth, we think the extra effort you clearly put into your work is reflected in the finished product. Either way, cant wait to get into bed and put this one on. Love Phil and Rach, UK 👍❤🍻👍

[@OhHowNovel]

Thank you! I thoroughly enjoyed your story telling. And the fact that it was such an enjoyable (and free) version to listen to was oh so appreciated. Well done!

[@ClassicGhost]

Thank you very much ! i’m

[@josephdeluca7602]

Amazing. Why has no film yet, done this story justice? This deserves a trilogy, or series. As a trilogy, the first film should be about Johnathon in the castle, second film would follow Lucy ending with the groups plotting to kill dracula making it the darkest film, and finally the third film would be about their journey back to Transylvania to kill Dracula and his wives. It could be amazing.

[@ClassicGhost]

If they would just be true to the story !

[@L.L.V.N.]

Created like Lord of the Rings.

[@A.L.Gardner]

Thank you so much for recording this so beautifully in its entirety. I read it many years ago but chronc shoulder pain makes holding a book difficult.

[@kendrabeauchamp1216]

Thouroughly enjoyed! This is the best audiobook I have EVER heard. I didn’t want it to end. Thank you thank you thank you!

[@Pr0pheTonetap]

Just finished the entire book, I listened to this as I read. Truly amazing book.

[@kingdavid255]

Found it! Thank you very much! I don’t have a lot of time to listen so I’ll tell you I’ve started listening several months ago. Thanks again. I am familiar with the story and have read shorter versions but this is by far the best because I can listen to it on my car radio. ❤

[@RobertDePinto]

Just finished. Wow. Wow. Wow. What a great reading/ narration. Thank you so much. Incredible book. And instruction manual ;)

[@ClassicGhost]

A good manual for vampire hunters :)

[@RobertDePinto]

@@ClassicGhost 100% and the world is full of vampires now days. there is so much metaphysical / spiritual wisdom and instruction in this. im going to do a breakdown of it for people.

[@RetroRanter]

This was absolutely brilliant, so glad I stumbled onto this channel, granted it took me a while to finish this second part as im a night listener and id fall asleep alot but..thats a good thing 😂 very soothing even for classic horror, thank you for your hard work..now onto Frankenstien. 💜 Must say id love to hear toyr take on some Robert E howard tales, especially Conan and his eldritch horror stories.

[@ClassicGhost]

Let me know what you thought of Frankenstein

[@ednaceola7876]

This was so good. Went to sleep with it many nights but finally heard it all. The good guys win! Thank you so much

[@ClassicGhost]

Glad you enjoyed it! Thanks for sticking with us!

[@tk423b]

Thank you for painting Renfield as the right-hand-man and true monster he is.

[@ClassicGhost]

lol. We can have it both ways.

[@debbiekhune1540]

Thank you so much. I love bram stokers dracula 💙💚💛. Hope you have a great week.

[@chebbohagop]

You have caused me to “fall in love” with Dr. Van Helsing! I wish he were a real man!! I’d like him to be my uncle! Or grandfather! He’s my hero ❤ Your narration, dear sir, is extraordinary and I thank you!!

This book is just a DnD game where the party take five weeks to defeat the main boss and all of the characters keep rolling low. 😅

Bravo! And thanks.

[@electrictofumuffins6384]

Two Christmas stories, the 1st one is pretty memorable. Jerome K. Jerome "Told After Supper". John Kendrick Bangs, “Thurlow’s Christmas Story". None of the biggies here on YT have either yet.

[@ClassicGhost]

i have those in print too

[@edf777]

Thank you sir😊❤

[@GeldardtheGrey]

Great work, Tony. Your interpretation of Van Helsing is definitely the best I have heard on several audio versions of the novel I have listened to over the years. The right amount of eccentricity without crossing over into parody. The accent you gave him reminds me of the actor who played Professor Bernstein in Hammer's "Curse of Frankenstein" (who also fits the physical description of Van Helsing from the book!) Some day a film studio or television network may take the time to do justice to Stoker's full original work.....some day!

[@ClassicGhost]

That is lovely to hear you say that. I did wonder if I was going over the top with Van Helsing but I did enjoy doing it.

[@blex5579]

i was halfway through the first 21^chapters when you uploaded this, so this comes in very handy... ;) that aside, as a german i absolutely love your van Hellsing... "Gott!"... ;) beautifully read, i always imagined Cushing and Lee...consider me a member

[@ClassicGhost]

LOVE the long videos! I would really enjoy listening to these as I go to sleep. Can you make any that have a dark screen? Regardless, whether you can or cannot, they’re amazing and I thoroughly enjoyed listening to this. No interruptions! it was perfection my new favorite channel.

[@ClassicGhost]

By coincidence, I just did one . check out my videos. last week i think . mostly i dont don’t do dark screen compilations. But ive done one or two

[@lynng510]

@@ClassicGhost that’s awesome! Yeah, I enjoyed the visual effects of your videos a lot unfortunately I just can’t sleep with any light so I’m always looking for either a dark or dim video to play. But the stories you tell are perfect to lay down in a dark room and listen to. Thank you very much. I appreciate your work.

[@ClassicGhost]

I will do more.

[@kendrabeauchamp1216]

Mina's purity is very god-like, particularly in her wanting mercy for Dracula's soul. This is the purist kd of love.

I enjoyed this book much much more than Frankenstein. A bit different than the movies but in a good way. Great job reading.
