'Dracula' is a very badly written book in many ways, but it gave me the nearest thing to a nightmare that I've had since childhood, so it certainly works as a horror story.
I came to realise that every time we recognise something human in creatures, we are also recognising something creaturely in ourselves. That is central to the rejection of human supremacism as the pernicious doctrine it is.
