Stephenson Family Ties

"The nosferatu do not die like  the bee when he sting once.

He is only stronger; and being stronger, have yet more power

to work evil. ...he is brute, and more than brute; he is devil

in callous, and the heart of him is not; ...How then are we to

begin our strike to destroy him? How shall we find his where;

and having found it, how can we destroy? My friends, this is much;

it is a terrible task that we undertake, and there may be consequence

to make the brave shudder. For it we fail in this our fight he must

surely win; and then where end we? Life is nothings; I heed him not."

from: Dracula

by: Bram Stoker

I am surprised that its taken this long for me to finally pick this book up and read it!!  And Im surprised that I enjoyed reading it!  And Im triplely pleased that when I googled "Dracula book covers" that this image came up! I found this scene in the book one of the spookiest  and otherworldly.  Who knew a radical book like this could be  penned in 1897!! 4 stars for me!!!
