Dracula
08/04/2011
I have to go with Dracula too!
08/04/2011
Not to be a snob but it's actually Frankensteins monster, the monster isn't named Frankenstein the Doctor is. HAHAH sorry I'm kind of a big nerd when it comes to movies and old books and stuff. But regardless I don't enjoy the Dracula movies as much unless you are talking about the Bram Stokers Dracula, which in that case Id choose it because it is a far better movie.

The monster from the Black Lagooooon!

I'm a fan of horror movies but I've read both novels and I'm going with Frankenstein. It has more literary significance than Dracula does and makes the reader reexamine Paradise Lost.

I liked both stories, though think that Bram Stoker's writing was better than Shelly's. Both make for good works though

Waait important question... DR. Frankenstein or Frankenstein's monster? Oh wait you're asking which book is better and not who I'd rather have sex with.... Umm... I liked Frankenstein when I read it in high school, I tried to read Dracula and couldn't really get into it. But that was high school.
08/05/2011
Hell yes to Dracula!

Ah. I wasn't aware we were talking of the novels. Do you mind if I refer to the movies instead? I've not read Mary Shelley's Frankenstein.
But, based on the movies (and depending on which one) I'd go with Dracula.

The movies usually portray Frankenstein's monster as a mindless oaf but in the novel, the creature is so intelligent, it's beyond human.

As of yet, I've only read Frankenstein. It's an amazing story, one of my favorites from high school. I have a copy of Dracula, but I haven't gotten around to reading it yet.
08/07/2011
Dracula! Although I love both.
08/07/2011
Both were really good books, but I preferred Frankenstein. Bram Stoker is a bit long winded.

Really? I didn't know that. Thinking on it, I didn't like the mindless oaf aspect of the films (though on some occasions I quite liked the philosophical implications of such a being), so I might pick the book up - and Dracula, too, so that I may compare them.

If you're not a fan of the mindless oaf, then you should enjoy the book a lot more than any of the movies. The creature (as he was called in the books) was highly intelligent and articulate, and a very sympathetic character, as well.

In some movie version of "Frankenstein" that I saw a while back, the creature was portrayed as intelligent. I think it might have been the Kenneth Branagh version, but I'm not sure.
And in the Van Helsing movie with Hugh Jackman, the creature is too noble to be considered a "monster" by the monster hunter.
Even in a very old black and white version, the creature befriends a blind man before being harassed into violence.
So not all movies portray Frankenstein's monster as a mindless oaf.

I have always preferred Dracula

Dracula, but I have thing for Vampires!

What if there was an actual dildo styled after Dracula(vampires), Frankenstein, Zombies or like? This might actually be able to fullfill a Fantasy. Or a pocket pussy for men?

Having read both, Frankenstein has more to offer imo. I like fantasy/horror and sci fi books that use it as a medium to shine a light on society, and Frankenstein fell into that better.

Frankenstein, definitely. He was a sad, doomed creature you just felt so sorry for.
