This was my first experience reading Dracula in “real time,” on the day each diary entry and letter was written. It‘s the cool & creative idea of Matt Kirkland who rearranged the original book in strict chronological order. I already love this epistolary classic, but this reread was particularly fun. I kept picturing my favorite movie Draculas-the mesmerizing Bela Lugosi and creepy Gary Oldman in the provocative 1992 film version.

TheBookHippie I love reading this story. 🖤 4d
PurpleyPumpkin What a great way to read this classic! Gary Oldman really did ratchet up the creep factor. 😬 4d
BookmarkTavern Those are some good Draculas! I was picturing more Christopher Lee myself! 3d
MemoirsForMe @PurpleyPumpkin Agreed! Gary‘s Dracula could give you nightmares. He was sooo convincing! 3d
MemoirsForMe @BookmarkTavern Oh, I forgot about Christopher Lee. Loved his Dracula too! 3d

I mean…it‘s Dracula and it takes 6 months. But Dracula in chronological order and with fun accompanying content (as above) in the margins is obviously far superior to just plain ol‘ Dracula. My only issue was with the weight of the book, which is very pretty but far too heavy to read comfortably in bed. Note: you can sign up for Dracula Daily as an email newsletter, but then you miss out on the extras.

A few days on a class trip - so this happened. There are four more which cannot be seen in the picture. 🙈🙈🙈
