I first started reading Dracula Daily about a week or two into May 2022 because everyone and their mom on tumblr were talking about it. Breaking the novel into smaller bite-sized pieces occurring in real time really helped me to digest it better and helped me to get a better idea of how the story was actually paced out. I got caught up on a few entries and kept up with it until around late September/early October when a lot was happening in my life and I couldn’t keep up.

I tried again this year and I also listened to the Re: Dracula podcast which helped me a lot since I’m a visual-auditory learner and I’m not the best at reading. I listened to every entry and usually read the corresponding email at the same time. The podcast was also helpful since I knew about how long it would take to get through each entry so I could plan my time around it. I had a much easier time this year reading the novel. I’m proud to say that this time around, I saw it all the way through to the end.

I’ve had a lot of fun reading and listening to Dracula, telling my loved ones about it, and talking about it with everyone here online! I’ve loved the art, memes, and discussions we all had around this old classic book. The book is so unique and compelling and it doesn’t get as much appreciation and respect as it should.

Thank you so much to Matt Kirkland and the @re-dracula team for providing such a wonderful, immersive, and well-made experience and bringing together a bunch of nerds online. I don’t think I would have ever read this book without you. And thank you to all the other readers and listeners who helped make the journey as much fun as it was. We laughed, cried, cheered, and talked together and I’m so glad that I was a part of it all. I’m sad that it’s over but I’m happy that it happened at all.

"Seven years ago we all went through the flames; and the happiness of some of us since then is, we think, well worth the pain we endured."

Although Dracula was published in 1897, some think that it takes place in 1893 because of the way the days and dates used line up. If that's the case, Jonathan Harker's epilogue, seven years later, would have been added around 1900. A new era bubbling with new change and new conventions. The story ends with Jonathan looking ahead to a new century filled with the unknown and being able to look on the past, despite its darkness, "without despair."

#dracula #dracula daily #November 7 #thanks to anon who mentioned 'new woman' term didn't get officially coined until 1894 #but at the same time certain technology mentioned in the book didn't get its stride until the early 1890s #by publication it ends near the end of the century either way #but ending exactly on 1900 would be an extra nice touch #Jonathan harker #mina harker #1893 was also the year that electricity was displayed on a large scale for the first time at the Colombian Exposition in Chicago #also known as the “World's Fair” #bram stoker #quincey morris #jack seward #abraham van helsing #arthur godalming #the emphasis on modern methods and technology and unconventional characters throughout and then ending with the beginning of a new era #dracula analysis #dracula thoughts #one of those things where you wonder if it was intentional or just worked out really well #twilight-zoned-out #did not keep up with drac daily very well this year #but congratulations to those who did

Animal of the Day!

Crocodile Monitor (Varanus salvadorii)

(Photo from Smithsonian National Zoo)

Conservation Status- Least Concern

Habitat- New Guinea; Indonesia

Size (Weight/Length)- 20 kg; 2.3 m

Diet- Mammals; Birds; Fish

Cool Facts- The crocodile monitor is the longest lizard in the world, although they are less heavy than the Komodo dragon. Despite their huge size, these monitor lizards spend the majority of their lives in the trees. Their serrated teeth are perfectly adapted for grabbing fast-moving prey, add in their speed and stamina and these tiny dragons can take down deer and pigs. After taking down a large animal, the crocodile monitor hauls its catch into the canopy to eat in peace. Their tails are semi prehensile, although adults are typically too heavy to hang from only their tail. This long tail is also used like a whip against threats and its bite typically causes a severe infection. The crocodile monitor is threatened from illegal poaching for the pet trade, overhunting, and deforestation.

Rating- 11/10 (Masters at sprinting through the treetops.)

The book's theme is literally the love for Mina. Wow. Dracula couldn't have picked a worse person to fuck around with before he found out

Something about the last few sentences of the novel being about Mina. How Dracula couldn’t have been defeated without her. How Jonathan loves her so so much. How despite the sexism and misogyny she faced she was still a strong female character who got shit done.

"When we got home we were talking of the old time—which we could all look back on without despair, for Godalming and Seward are both happily married."

Congratulations to Jack and Arthur on their marriage. (Go Stoker for saying Gay Rights circa 1897.)
