Some years back I went on a ‘classics’ kick and read both Shelley and Stoker amongst others, and it made me realize how crappy the hollywood versions were. Another good one is The Strange Case of Dr Jekyll and Mr Hyde.
I did that, too. All of the classics are free on Kindle.
The Bela Lugosi version of Dracula and the Boris Karloff Frankenstein weren’t really based on the original novels. They were based on Victorian stage adaptations of same.
