I actually love Re: Dracula, because like,, it’s just so darn accessible???

Aside from the genuine care and time that the creators put into it, and the details and awesome sound effects, and it brings life to the novel in an awesome way.

Don’t get me wrong, I adore Dracula Daily, but I just don’t have the time at the moment to sit down and read it, where as with Re: Dracula, I can do my work and listen to it, I can play it as background noise to sleep too, I can do art with it. It’s easy for me to get to as well, so I can quickly get it on whiteout wasting too much time.

And did I mention the effort the team working on it puts in to it??

Forever a lonely sea captain

Seems Re: Dracula is just collecting TMA voice actors. Casting Alasdair Stuart at the Captain of the Demeter tickled me though. He will forever be our favorite lonely sea captain.

Looking through the Dracula Daily tag and seeing how many people have either forgotten or don't know that Bram Stoker is (was) Irish. I'm seeing a LOT of people interpreting imperialist and anti-catholic sentiment into Dracula but I would like to remind you that Bram was born and raised in a Catholic country very much aware of British opression. Although he was a member of the Church of Ireland (Protestant), Catholics are the majority here so Catholic practices would have been normal and familiar to him. Now he did live between significant uprisings, so whether he was an imperialist sympathizer is anyone's guess, but as he was educated in Dublin (Trinity), I highly doubt he wasn't at least aware of Republican sentiment.

So as we read (and/or listen) to Dracula, please keep in mind that we're actually experiencing an Irishman's perspective on an Englishman's perspective on religion and imperialism.

Today's DraculaDaily contains a nasty little nugget of antisemitism, in the form of one of the NPCs the Crew of Light bribes being specifically called out as Jewish and greedy.

...not to excuse Stoker's clear antisemitism, but some people might be wondering what the "Adelphi theatre type" he mentions is. Good news: It's probably less bad than you're thinking.

A brief google took me to Victorianweb.org, which is a pretty reliable source for information on the period. It's got a writeup of a lot of the minor theatres in London at the time, and it states:

"[The Adelphi] had more "tone" than the other minor theatres because its patrons in the main were the salaried clerks of barristers and solicitors."

It goes on to explain that the Adelphi specifically hosted a lot of plays by Dickens (and a lot of Dickens bootlegs) and a lot of burlettas (what we'd call comedy musicals today).

Stoker's saying "this guy is a little bit lower class than our heroes- probably in about the class position that Jonathan started out at, honestly- is an extremely bank-clerky bank clerk, and likes a good middlebrow comedy."

So yeah, calling this NPC "the Adelphi theatre type" is a bit like saying "you can tell just by looking at this guy that he trades crypto and has seen every fucking Marvel movie". (Not that much, but a bit.) Knowing that Stoker worked in theatre, it's a weird little bit of humanization in the middle of a super dehumanizing period-typical stereotype.

[ETA: @luanna801 pointed out in the notes that this could also mean "the type of antisemitic stock character one would see on stage at the Adelphi", like calling someone a Tyler Perry character. I don't know which interpretation is more likely to be accurate, but it's worth noting here.]

HEY, if there’s anyone that thoroughly enjoyed Dracula Daily or are yearning for more serialized classic lit, next year they’re beginning The Big Read where everyone subscribed reads 5 classic novels over the course of a year by getting regular emails w pages from them (just like Dracula Daily).

The reading list this year is:

Lonesome Dove by Larry McMurty (January-March)

A Tree Grows In Brooklyn by Betty Smith (April-May)

The Count of Monte Cristo by Alexandre Dumas (June-September)

The Haunting of Hill House by Shirley Jackson (October)

East of Eden by John Steinbeck (November-December)

Have fun!
