The Audible full-cast recording

Each diary read by a different actor, with Tim Curry as Van Helsing.

Dracula has no narrator — it is diaries, letters and recordings — so give each document its own voice and the novel plays like a drama.

You want the novel itself, and you want each of its writers to sound like a different person.

What it keeps and what it changes

Keeps: the novel’s documents, each read in the voice of the person who wrote it.
Changes: only the delivery. Alan Cumming reads Seward and Tim Curry Van Helsing, with Simon Vance, Katherine Kellgren, Susan Duerden, John Lee, Graeme Malcolm and Steven Crossley.

Whose story is it?

whoever is holding the pen, and you always know who, because the voice changes.

How much time does it ask?

A full-cast reading of the novel: 15 hours 27 minutes, per its Amazon listing.

Audible Studios. Two Audie Awards in 2013, for production and for multi-voiced performance.
