“He’s a monster of seduction” – Jonathan Bailey on his character in the Dracula audio book

“He’s a monster of seduction and he’s preying on her,” says Bailey as he sets the scene.

“Feel now just how insignificant you are. Yet you would play your brains against mine. You think that you can help these men and that old woman to hunt me and frustrate me in my designs. You know now what it is to cross my path,” Bailey reads.

The story focuses on Mina’s perspective. After her fiancé Jonathan Harker disappears in Transylvania, Mina investigates a series of mysterious events through letters, diary entries and testimonies, which eventually leads her to Dracula. She discovers that the monster is not only hunting those around her but may also be targeting her mind.

The adaptation shifts the focus towards a psychological battle between Mina and Dracula.
