It's rather interestingly weird to read it with a. a 21st century pop culture knowledge of vampire tropes (like, "oh HO, he doesn't have any MIRRORS!") but b. absolutely no knowledge of the actual plot of Dracula.
That does sound like an interesting tension!
I've seen more versions of Dracula than I always think and they're like Arthuriana: it is possible to pick up amazingly conflicting variations of the mythos just by pop-culture osmosis.
