This is one of the classics that I deliberately chose not to finish reading. I’m beginning to understand why now!

It’s a wee bit strange that I’ve read and re-read and then read again something as blood-curdling and horrible as Bram Stoker’s Dracula.

Go figure – as they say.

I cannot give a full personal review of this book but even this short video explains quite a lot.

P.S. Conk ? In the UK we call that shell a CON -CH. CH as in CH-eat, CH-at, CH-ow.

P.P.S. One of my closest friends had a friend that everyone called Piggy. She took a phone call from him in front of me once and I questioned her about that nickname, because it disturbed me. Apparently he was a well-built, CH-ubby man :o(
