My Dracula book collection!

[@Tam00393]

I read Dracula as a teen and I loved it, one of my favorite classic novels of all time! Thank you for sharing your collection, I've been hunting for the perfect edition and fell in love with the pale blue one you showed us, so I ordered it! Thank you for the suggestion!

[@frankenoise]

I only own 3 versions but I love that you have so many! Wouldn't mind doing that myself.

[@jenfiles89]

Great collection! I was planning to get a copy of Dracula but unsure which version to buy. After watching your video, I decided to grab the penguin leatherbound classic version (the last one).

[@connorpusey5912]

Dracula is also one of my favorite novels, just because I love scary stories. Being that you have so many editions and seem to be infatuated by the novel, you should _really_ buy the Easton Press deluxe limited edition. It is bound in real leather, is oversized, has illustrations, is bound with extremely good quality with very thick end boards, marble endpapers, and comes in a cloth bound slipcase lined on the inside with velvet or a velvet-like material. It has a very hefty price tag, but can be paid for in chunks and is very much worth it to any fan of Dracula. They ship to the UK too I think.

[@kaylacake1131]

Thanks very much! Ill keep an eye out

[@CC-pt3di]

I have not fancied the Easton Press illustrations. It doesn't have a classic feel to the it. Folio Society is superior in my opinion. I really don't understand why Barnes and Nobles won't release an illustrated edition of the Dracula. There's plenty of great illustrators out there. I am really hoping and waiting that they would release a good illustrated collectable edition that goes in my shelf. The premium ones by Folio Society and Easton Press are just absurdly too expensive. I can't say it's not worth the price though. Sigh...

[@connorpusey5912]

C C 9 It definitely is worth the price. You don’t realize how good the quality is until you actually hold it in your hands and see it with your own eyes. Feels and looks very luxurious.

[@minhee7]

For someone who doesn’t read often, which edition would you recommend?

[@connorpusey5912]

@@minhee7 You can find cheaper editions if you don’t want to fork out the money for the Easton Press one. Folio Society makes a beautiful edition that is a lot cheaper, still a little expensive though. But it’s illustrations are even better than the Easton Press edition. Barnes and Noble make an even cheaper copy but it’s not as well made.

I'm so inlove with your love for Dracula books, and books at general.. You're really incredible and I'm glad I've found this video :D

[@NoriMori1992]

11:46 I've been looking for an illustrated Dracula I read when I was a kid. I'm not _sure_ this is it, but it could be, so thanks for showing it off! I'll try to get my hands on a copy to read, to confirm it. Edit (9 months later): I was finally able to check, and I'm sorry to say that it isn't the right book 😔 Back to the old drawing board… Wish me luck. Edit: I've since learned that the plot of the book I read was probably based on the Hamilton Deane stageplay, or one of the movies adapted from the play (such as the Bela Lugosi one). Unfortunately this information has not yet helped me find it…

[@ofgodzeus]

I can't believe they're literally all here except for the one i wanted to check out lol it's still an amazing collection tho.. so beautiful

[@kaylacake1131]

Such a shame! My collection has grown a lot since this video, so i wonder if I have the one you're looking for now.

[@ofgodzeus]

[@ilostmyjacket3997]

I loved this book review!! You can tell how passionate you are about books ☺️☺️

[@louielouie4395]

11:50 I really want this, does anyone know where I could find it?

[@RevolutionRicky]

I love Bram Stoker's novel Dracula...your collection is pretty impressive..I bought a copy the other day from Wal-Mart..I also love the 1931 Dracula Movie with Bela Lugosi and the 1994 version with Gary Oldman

[@RJLupin-xl6yf]

Can you please share the publisher info for the two Thick YA Dracula novels between 5:20 and 7:00? If it’s revised the same way they make the Bible easier for modern reading than I would like to gift them to my younger sister. The first Dracula novel I read was a revision by Rosalie Kershaw, but after rereading the original many times I found it still kept the soul and terror without the extra grammar.

[@kaylacake1131]

They were vintage classics and penguin classics. I would typically find these in the "young adult" section, rather than the classics section.

[@RJLupin-xl6yf]

@@kaylacake1131 thank you. Awesome collection too.

[@missopheliaophelia1481]

Oh my god ... how funny ... you seem to be as crazy as I am. I share your obsession with Dracula books (also films etc.) with you. Funny to see that there isn't at least one book we have in common. (For sure) because I'm a German and most of my Dracula books are German ones. Several years ago I visited a 'mystical store' in San Francisco and there I found a very beautiful illustrated one which I hunted for ages ... You are my hero of the day sweetheart :*

[@kaylacake1131]

What a delight to see a comment like this! Thank you! Since this video i have collected a single german copy, so maybe we have just one in common! Hehe So glad to hear someone has a similar interest xx

[@paulyb-englishmaninhangzho3609]

I found an edition I so desire but it's in German and I am not a speaker, it could be a good reason to learn and be able to read my favourite novel once again.

[@Demonic.Drawings]

18:58 I want this one From where can i get it???

[@khomol]

I always judge a book by its cover

[@DafyddBrooks]

This was great, but I would have liked to know what book comapnys thesewere published from in order to find a few of them myself.. good video none the less

[@nwojunkie]

I remember the local library near me had a Dracula version that was a hardcover picture book with really great illustrations for each page, but; for some reason, I can't find it anywhere and whenn i try to look it up nothing shows up for it.

[@JohnCranberry23]

So I started watching Dracula on Netflix and I love it. I just watched the 1992 movie again and I was wondering if Bram Stokers Dracula is the original Dracula Story that the movie and show are based on. It seems as they are. I am about to purchase the Dracula (Faux Leather Edition) online. I'm Aussie too, Central Coast.

[@kaylacake1131]

Yeah, i believe bram stokers novel dracula was the first to introduce the character. However vampires and similar myths to dracula had already existed!

[@bellamovie2]

Awesome collection! I'm collecting different editions of my favorite classic Gothic novel of all time...The Hunchback of Notre Dame (also Notre Dame de Paris) by Victor Hugo💜

[@nightgreen8340]

Very nice. What publisher has made the last book in the video?

[@Jennifer-tg7tp]

I love the look of the second small hardcover book. The one with the beautiful red cover that was shown when you took the protective sleeve cover off. Which edition is this so that I may also look to buy a copy myself if I may ask?

[@TallyDayle]

Where did you get the yellow paperback facsimile edition?

[@kaylacake1131]

I'm not sure exactly, but I have seen it previously in Dymmocks, QBD Books, and other local bookstores. Here in Victoria, Australia that is. It's pretty common I understand

[@RainyDayBlue8]

I have a bright red soft leather book and the edges of the pages are black. It looks so sick. I’m currently on eBay looking at a very worn 1897 copy and a 1920 copy

[@shanondee6110]

Am i sorry ?? But what is the book that have picture and more easy to read ???book i can use it to learn english language . Some tell me please.

[@Demonic.Drawings]

Hey! In in the comments u told that your collection has expanded greatly so can u make 1 more new video on your new Dracula books??

[@Eisentours]

Where you get the pocket size versions?

[@kaylacake1131]

Dymmocks

[@andreasplosky8516]

You should have at least given the publisher, and the year of publishing, and the isbn. I am interested in some of these editions, but some are difficult to find.

[@Shashank12342]

My question is that do all these dracula books have same stories

[@andreasplosky8516]

Yes they do. Some might be abridged, but basically they contain Bram Stoker's Dracula.

[@priestessmikokikyo77]

I like Dracula too much a Classic novel also I totally love Phantom of the Opera!

[@Triton63]

Definitely seek out Tomb of Dracula comic books. You can find them in reprint volumes or digitally reasonably priced. They are awesome. Writer Marv Wolfman and artists Gene Colan and Tom Palmer All three are legends in the industry.

[@שירןגרינפלד-מיטלמן]

And another question..maybe weird, I'm sorry.. Can you add the names of the books and authors you've talked about in the video? What's the two with white cover, one of the with the really big splash of blood and the other one had only 2 splash of blood? Who's the writer of th pop up? ? Thank you from advance 🙏🏻😊👑❤

[@ultramagnetic3556]

The version at 4:05 the yellow cover paperback, where did you purchase that? I’m looking for that same paperback that looks like the first edition. Other than the publisher Archibald Constable and Company, is there any other way I can find that version, like is there a specific name for that version? Your collection is so awesome!!

[@aseemadusanka7543]

Woow...can i buy one?

[@jdaywork2693]

I'd like to have a first edition copy - probably the American release since it's a lot cheaper than the original British!

[@H0und0fHircin3]

Do you have Dracul? How is it in comparison to Dracula?

[@kaylacake1131]

I recently re-read both dracula the un-dead and dracul. Dracula the un-dead is really bad after reading again. I did like it first read. But you asked about dracul. I actually liked dracul, it's much more well written. It can't be compared to dracula honestly, but as a stand alone horror it's good. I honestly don't think Dacre stoker needed to connect it to the dracula universe to make the book good or interesting.

[@matc6221]

Nice collection! There are affordable alternatives of the text too; 'Dracula: The Definitive Author's Cut' re-worked by Stoker in 1901 to make it faster-paced (also included is 'Dracula's Guest', the omitted 1st chapter of the 1897 book), try eBay. Also 'Powers of Darkness: the Lost Version of Dracula', is the English text of the Icelandic translation (orig. 1901). Turns out to be a very different version actually set in Iceland! By Bram Stoker/Valdimar Asmundsson. Annotated & more, came out this year. Good book.

[@kaylacake1131]

thanks for the recommendation! Will check it out :)

[@matc6221]

'The Definitive Author's Cut' and 'Powers of Darkness' are different books ;)

[@richiearkarich]

I'd like to meet u some day!!

[@noobody89]

With all these versions I'd have thought you'd have gone for ones from Easton press or folio society both, at the moment, have Deluxe versions of them out with interesting art work. Or go for the original first edition of the book. Admittedly they're all a bit expensive.

[@kaylacake1131]

Thanks for the tip! I still collect but tbh I'm not very serious, as much as I'd love nicer copies I also like having money ahahaha.

[@timspencer2274]

Love the books and Dracula too muhahahaha

[@NoObette31]

Great collection. Were did you get the bronze and dark green edition of dracula ? 😱

[@kaylacake1131]

I believe it was a gift, but I believe I was bought from Robinsons bookshop. I'm not sure if that bookshop is Australian only though. Thanks!

[@juanfragueiroaramburu]

[@aldoorn]

i just bought a red cover flexi (fake) leather from barnes and noble. cover looks amazing. would love to find a real leather copy somewhere

[@kaylacake1131]

I think i have that one too! Beautiful copy, what a striking red. Kind of surprising that red covers are less common compared to black, grey and even colours like white!

[@mrs.cavill2584]

kayla cake is it the original one? where did you get it? and how much? please reply huhuhu😭

[@witchf4ce310]

Aldorn why would you want a copy with the skin of a dead animal?

[@connorpusey5912]

Aldorn The Easton Press has a deluxe limited edition of Dracula (and other classic novels) bound in real leather. I got it a couple years ago but it’s back in stock now for some reason. It has very thick end boards, gilded page ends, marble endpapers, and illustrations. It’s also oversized and comes in a cloth-bound slipcase with velvet lining the inside. It’s expensive, but can be financed and is worth it if you love beautiful books and the novel itself.

Plot twist - She never completed Dracula !

[@dannyjorde2677]

Too bad the English editions aren't very good. The illustrated Spanish one is great

[@calemlinke773]

Fat Dracula; the non copyrighted new idea for a supernatural fanfiction of a hero bent on saving the world, saving the occasional person from demons, and stopping calamities from happening to the Earth. With a tendency to use others' energies to fight an ongoing battle, the energy returns to the individuals in the end of battles, leaving them like vampires. This idea needs your imagination; you decide as yourselves what you want the comic to look like, and give it your own style, with no intentions on copyright it's going to be interesting to see how people see the world of the supernatural fanfiction which is Fat Dracula. Best of wishes for the ones who think they've got the makings of greatness at their fingertips, with just a whim and good skills with their art. May the best version make history.

[@gamezilla2271]

Omg u really must have a lot of money. You clearly spent well over 100 dollars on same book, just cause it looks different.
