As Christians, we love to chat about the faith implications of what we read and watch but you can enjoy this podcast whether or not you share our faith!We review book-to-film adaptations across genres and time periods, although youll probably notice were big sci-fi and fantasy fans. Each episode includes a comprehensive breakdown of (our opinion of) the most impactful changes from page to film, trivia about the book and film, and our final verdicts about whether or not the book is *actually* better.(Want bonus content?

S03E011 — Dracula
Episode 11
Friday, 23 January, 2026
Sink your teeth into this one baby listeners. This week on The Book Is Better, we tackle the granddaddy of vampire lore: Dracula. From Bram Stoker’s surprisingly Christian, diary-driven nightmare to a century of wildly different film adaptations, we debate what actually makes this story work. We cover everything from creepy castles and plague ships to tragic love retcons, over-the-top sensuality, and why Mina deserves way more respect. It’s gothic, it’s chaotic, and it proves that sometimes the scariest thing isn’t the vampire—it’s what filmmakers do to the source material.Support us on Patreon >> https://patreon.com/bookisbetterpodFind us everywhere at @bookisbetterpod.Episode page: https://bookisbetterpod.com/bibpod-episodes/ep-067-dracula/ Hosted on Acast.
