It's Dracula Day again! ⚰️ (piefed.social)

Well, not literally Dracula Day, World Dracula Day is on May 26th. I'm talking about the day Dracula starts within the book itself. The events in the book start today and end in November. I like the read along as they happen and there are two ways to it:

Dracula Daily - an email newsletter that breaks up Dracula chronologically (every entry of this epistolary novel has a date) and sends it to you in 'real-time', as it happens to the characters

Re:Dracula - a dramatized podcast version that does the same thing, but posts the entries on its feed

I personally listen to the podcast.

everyone should read dracula. it works for two main reasons, stoker has an eye for the cinematic, and you get behind his protagonists like no other book's protagonists. They have so much love and regard for each other

it doesn't matter that it's not ʟ ɪ ᴛ ᴇ ʀ ᴀ ᴛ ᴜ ʀ ᴇ its still one of the best Victorian reads

I've started a Dracula Daily–inspired read-through and book club over on [email protected], if you, @[email protected], or @[email protected] are interested in joining.
