Dracula is a very polarizing book. The epistolary style is somewhat off-putting, in addition to the admittedly slow pace. But a lot of people (including Stephen King) love it.
I can't offer a very reliable opinion on the book being "scary", since despite being a horror fan, I'm not actually scared by the books (horror games, do elevate my blood pressure, though).
Lair of the White Worm, on the other hand... I doubt you'll find many people who enjoyed
that.
