To be honest, I found SHAMBLEAU more impressive.
The modern narrative style fitted the theme better than Stoker's epistolary structure.
(I read them both around the same time. Both good but SHAMBLEAU was creepier.)
The problem with Dracula was the letter writing/journal writing style. That just didn't lend itself to be scary.
