Beowulf and Dracula didn’t crop up in any of my history lessons at school.

Nice idea to have different playable characters in a gamebook, especially taking the villains viewpoint.

these all sound amazing a book playing as Dracula would be a really cool twist on an adventure book.

I’ve never played through an adventure book. Are most of the choices / outcomes effective in altering the story or is there a lot of dead ends with backtracking?

That Dracula book sounds awesome.
I would definitely play as Dracula first.
My children might enjoy it as well.

Only recently discovered adventure books/choose your own adventure books and love them. Currently making my way through fabled lands books. Think Dracula/Beowulf could be next
