It's time to talk about the quintessential vampire novel, Bram Stoker 1897 gothic horror, "Dracula."
*Scary music plays, lightning flashes, we look very cool in an old castle*
The Shelfers are joined by Scoob, Bluesky Elder, vampire expert, and longtime follower of the Count.
Learn how Bram Stoker was the Forrest Gump of late 19th century literature as he stumbled his way through a prolific but disappointing career that exploded following his death.
We ask such questions as...Is Dracula gay? (Yes.) Is Dracula racist? (Also yes.) Is Jonathan Harker a petite bourgeois reactionary? (100% yes.) Does Mina deserve better? (Yes, yes, yes.)
