PadWorx' Dracula

Dracula: The Official Bram
Stoker Family Edition
Working on Steampunk Holmes has been a blast and when I started working on music to accompany the app/book it reminded me of PadWorx' Dracula: The Official Stoker Family Edition which was released last Halloween.  Although I liked the app/book right away, for some reason I've never blogged about it. But, the more I work on Steampunk Holmes the more I see my efforts mirroring PadWorx'.

Dracula is a full length novel with animations, interactive elements, page effects, and even music from established artists.  Steampunk Holmes is very similar in many ways which has given me a great appreciation for PadWorx' Dracula.

I went back and reviewed the application again and got so much more out of it the second time. I forgot what a wonderful story it is and I tip my hat to PadWorx for enhancing the experience in a way that really adds to the enjoyment.  In the future we will all look back at PadWorx' Dracula and declare it a milestone in interactive novels.
