>>3475 (OP)
I'm often not one for books but I'd recommend dracula. I listened to it in audiobook format, mostly for the first half because the second half seemed more like a fetish-fantasy.
The first half of the book, if you care to take an interest, feels like an extremely interesting dive into social dynamics. It'll feel unnecessarily dragging if you're not into vampires, because the writing goes into a lot of depth about the most smallest details, but I do think that bram did this because he had a very specific image of dracula in his mind. The way dracula moves, acts, can be so cruel yet suddenly so comforting paints a very interesting personality. He doesn't really come off mindlessly villainous, he just seems painstaking only to the extent. Only hinting at what would induce fear, only ever taking one drop of blood, barely ever hurting anyone, only enjoying that he can make them squirm without anything else.
The second half where dracula takes off from transylvania did really come off much like self-indulgent-cuck-fetish pornography though. I didn't really like it enough to read too far into it.
