Yes, and in all seriousness it's a good book if you're looking for a spookmonth read.

I got this title for the dumbest fucking possible take on sea shanties. Specifically, I derailed the meme thread because sailors in the 18th century weren't woke enough for me, and you shouldn't sing sea shanties. In fact, don't have any fun ever.
Of all the books I was forced to read in high school, Frankenstein is one of maybe three or so that I thought were genuinely good. Sci fi is the best genre, even among classics from 200 years ago, and it fit right in with all the PKD, Heinlein, etc. I was reading recreationally. I haven't read it since, but given that it held up for 185 years before I got to it the first time, I'm sure it's still good after 204 years.

I haven't read Dracula but I've heard it's quite bad in comparison.

Also, in the book he's referred to as "The Creature" not "Frankenstein's monster". So that's the biggest "well actually" you can pull out to counter the "well actually it's 'Frankenstein's monster' not 'Frankenstein'".

Isnt there some scandinavian country where the translater didnt think it was very good and so just wrote their own fanfiction and that was dracula for a hundred or so years?

Iceland.

It is apparently rather hornier than dracula.

I don’t think your fifth year essay is going to stand the test of time the way you think it will.

I'm honestly surprised the Bowie Knife didn't catch on in future Dracula lore. I suppose that "Dracula Unleashed" game for the Sega CD did hold to that tradition, what with it being oddly committed to being an "official" sequel. I mostly remember the Restpurae of it, which involved a bunch of drunk carriage drivers.
