“If you're interested in Stoker's comments on Dracula, he was briefly interviewed about the novel after its publication. This piece is long known to scholars, but perhaps not popularly known.”

A rare note that Bram Stoker wrote still exists, written only weeks after Dracula was published in 1897. "... letters by Stoker were rare and ones in which he mentioned Dracula by name virtually unheard of."

SwayFX + Dracula is goated.
1/2 Bran Castle - the castle most associated with Dracula. Largely because of tourism. There’s no evidence Bram Stoker knew anything about it. Vlad the Impaler was thought to have been held prisoner there, but that now is disputed.
The castle is on the border between Transylvania and Wallachia. To get an army through the Carpathian mountains, you would need to march your army past Bran, so Vlad likely passed by at least.

Started writing a #Dracula #fanfiction. In the novel by Bram Stoker, the extensive library of Count Dracula is mentioned which gave me the idea that of course he owns a copy of John Polidori's "The Vampyre" (from 1816) but thinks it's a lot of rubbish because the vampire is not depicted authentically. And of course he talks about this with Jonathan Harker.
I love it when texts get so meta. 
"Hi Count, I hear today's number is 3"
"Yes zat is right Grover, 1...2...3. Ha ha ha!"
"You know what letter the number 3 begins with?"
"Erm... zis is probably not a good idea Grover!"
"That's right! The letter T... Hey what's wrong with your friend?"
All shot using real figures & miniature sets. Had this idea for a while so thought I'd turn it into a fun photo.
Bueno, pues una vez acabado el libro, me dispongo a revisionar el "Drácula" de Francis Ford Coppola en esta maravillosa edición metálica de coleccionista con escenas inéditas eliminadas. Ahora sí, a juzgar la adaptación.

Loved tonight's #BlackeyedTheatre performance of #Dracula at #Swansea Grand Theatre 
Great staging, excellent performances and (mostly!) very true to the original novel. I appreciated how the company wove in criticism of colonialism and empire too.

I have ideas again for a #fanfiction, for #Dracula by Bram Stoker, but make it queer and with #polyamory. 
As you can imagine, I am not the first who came up with that idea. There are over 200 fanfics about Dracula with more or less polyamory, on AO3, some including his brides, others pairing up most of the male characters, including Arthur Holmwood and Dr. Seward.
Writing such a fanfic would give me an excuse to return to one of my favourite historical eras, the late Victorian.
