That Just Makes It So Much Better - Tumblr Posts

I feel like everyone new to reading Dracula this year would probably benefit from knowing that in the original outline, Jonathan at the beginning of the novel was already supposed to have undergone the events in “Dracula’s Guest” where he spent Walpurgisnacht wandering around in a storm and watching a hot vampire lady get struck by lightning before a wolf-that-was-probably-Dracula came and sat on him to keep him warm all night.

I feel like this missing bit of information goes a long way to explaining why he’s sort of like: “Storm. Wolves. Mysterious blue flames my preternaturally strong driver gets out to inspect. Is this a normal part of being a solicitor? (Mem. Remember not to call yourself a clerk. Mina will be proud of you. <3)”
