Pros
- You might be interested in Dracula Daily! It’s a free email subscription where everyday there’s an entry in Dracula, you receive an email.
- [Dracula Daily] is released as both a newsletter and a podcast
- I love it every year. I mainly like it for the commentary like “Giant bat keeps flapping at the window. Probably no big deal.”
- For me it felt much more suspenseful, like when we’re slowly given the Captain’s logs from the Demeter. ... It’s more dramatic than the original telling, which I think could capture new audiences!
- I loved it, too. That’s how I got over my reading slump. It was a great initiative.
Cons
- Loved it, but agree that it dragged on a bit at the end and the ending felt a bit anticlimactic. Wouldn’t recommend it for people reading Dracula the first time, but definitely a fun way to do a reread.
- I hated it. I wanted to love it so much but what it accomplished for me was to appreciate how beautifully crafted Bram Stoker’s novel was, and how much you lost of his intention by reshuffling the story by date. ... I just thought it end...
- It definitely dragged on towards the end and I was ready to be released from this obligation.
