This has to be my favorite Dracula cover. The intense and vibrant colors just feel alien and disconcerting.

I do like those Penguin clothbound classics.
Probably not a good idea to get too many of them though...

Never read it, but want to because of the cover.

seems a little faggy for lack of a better term. if you can't find it free, buy the cheapest used version you can find and leave in public when you're finished.

if it's something you really enjoyed, try to find a nice used hardcover/first edition for the bookshelf.

It's inappropriate given the plot, but it's pleasant to look at, at least.

Easton press put out a beautiful edition of American Psycho a few years back, this thread made me check, I think they took it down. Shame too, I wanted that edition for when I actually started buying hardcovers.
