Count Dracula - Blog Posts
Vampire-themed sestina
Feedback accepted and appreciated. I don't bite. Honest. Inspired by the part in Dracula where Mina turns back to human when he dies, so here the vampire narrator ends their own life to set their lover free. Thanks to @academic-vampire for asking to read my writing and for introducing me to the format! You can read his sestina here.
If the Dracula cast had social media (shudders)
Dracula - Closeted webtoon reader, also likes BitLife and maybe he’d post the most unfunniest memes to the discord server that just has the Dracula cast in it.
Johnathan - Instagram filled with food pics + life blog/vlogger (I AM LIVING WITH AN ACTUAL VAMPIRE IN HIS SPOOKY CASTLE ((NOT CLICKBAIT)))
Mina - Audiobook youtuber, she’d have the best voice for it and she sure as hell could voice dramatic scenes well #girlboss + maybe a Facebook page with cute photos of her and Johnathan and a LOT of her and Lucy being cute and having fun.
Lucy - Twitch Sims Streamer, she seems like such a simmer… even sul sul becomes a vocal stim for her eventually
Helsing - Literally only uses Facebook to play those cute farming games + he would absolutely love playing those mystery click and find games

A Review on ‘Dracula’ by Bram Stoker
Genre: Gothic/Adventure
Rating: 3/4
Summary: An English solicitor named Jonathan Harker visits the Castle Dracula of Transylvania, Romania, where he meets the famous Count Dracula. By the day, he becomes aware of himself being held captive in the labyrinth like castle. In the meantime, Harker’s fiancée Mina Murray grows anxious of his return while noticing some great changes in her best friend, Lucy Westenra.
My Opinion: I was very excited about this book and waited till October to get the Halloween vibes. Unfortunately my exam date was set for October and I had to sneak some time to read it. Anyway, I was able to finish reading the book and liked it. The gothic environment was evident and at times it creeped me out. The environments of the castle and the graveyard were really creepy. The fact that the whole book was written in the format of letters, diaries and journals, kept me guessing. I did not particularly like any character. I didn’t feel emotionally connected to anyone. They seem too plain. A minor character of a mental patient named Renfield was the only one I found interesting. Another problem I struggled with was that the novel was too descriptive. It took a lot of my attention and will power to go through the whole book. But overall, the story was thrilling.
