Due to building work, I don‘t have a kitchen at the moment. It‘s not stressing me but it‘s unsettling and consuming my time. Therefore my reading had dropped right off. However, I wanted to finish Dracula today because I‘m taking my daughter @she_she to see Browning/Lugosi‘s 1931 movie at the Prince Charles Cinema this afternoon. Not much I can say about this glorious, gothic classic that hasn‘t been said already.

Ruthiella Good luck with the renovation! 👍 5mo
The_Book_Ninja @Ruthiella why thank you☺️ 5mo
Bookwomble I hope you enjoyed your break from building works 😊 I love seeing old films at the cinema, and Lugosi's Dracula must have looked magnificent on the big screen 🧛🏻‍♂️ 5mo

The_Book_Ninja @Bookwomble thank you. I saw a double bill of Frankenstein and Bride of Frankenstein a few weeks ago. Definitely an experience after only ever seeing those films on TV. However, the upstairs screen at the Prince Charles isn‘t the biggest. 5mo
Bookwomble @The_Book_Ninja I was going to say I've never heard of the PCC (which seems to be a cultural blind spot for me that I regret, as I used to live near London), but looking at a picture of it, I think I might have seen Greystoke, The Legend of Tarzan there in 1984. 5mo
The_Book_Ninja @Bookwomble As a regular, I have membership there and I take my wife and occasionally one or all of my kids as they show a lot of classic and cult movies that just don‘t get screened anywhere else. 5mo
Bookwomble @The_Book_Ninja I wish there was an art house cinema near us - we just have the main distributors, and generally films which have little appeal for me 😕 5mo
The_Book_Ninja A lot of classics are getting rereleased. Picture House is a good chain 5mo

Enjoyed rereading this classic. Vividly creepy today & innovative and scandalous for its time. Epistolary form works for me. Finished for local library book group during FangtasticReadathon. Then discussed with book group-bucket list item. #Scarathlon #vampirebooks #31by31 #TeamWhoYaGonnaCall #FangtasticReadathon #Halloweenbucketlist

These are always such fun…but also often showcase how indecisive I am. I can‘t choose between pumpkin spice and hot chocolate! (And if apple cider had been on here, I‘d have picked it too.) I love all the seasonal beverages!

There are at least a few preferences I am clear about though: witches and vampires! 🧙‍♀️🧛🏻‍♂️

Day 8 of #scarathlondailyprompts is vampire. Pop culture is flooded with vampire stories. Every author puts their own spin on the mythology. I was curious how Stoker wrote the rules in the first novel about a vampire. I read Dracula five years ago, and it was not quite what I expected. I gave it 4/5 stars. #TeamSlaughter #scarathlon

An enjoyable spooky story, very slow paced until the end when everything unravels. I enjoyed the various POVs through journal entries, and the way the characters interacted. Overall, okay if you can stick to it.

“Listen to them, the children of the night. What music they make!” -Bram Stoker | Inspired by spooky, moonlit nights full of the Children of the Night, this candle is a combination of sandalwood, light fruits such as apple and pear, exotic florals, patchouli, vanilla, and a touch of orange. The scent is how I imagine a dark night full of moonbeams and magic might smell. #bookishcandles

#OnThisDay in 1897 Bram Stoker's Dracula was published. Eight days earlier, Stoker had presented a stage adaptation of the novel in order to publicize his forthcoming novel and to secure the copyright. While the book sold reasonably well, it did not become a huge seller until the film adaptations began. Today, Dracula is the most-filmed fictional character ever (can anyone guess who comes in second?) #HistoryGetsLIT

KCofKaysville @TheKidUpstairs maybe Sherlock Holmes ?

batsy Hmm, I'm going with Sherlock as well :) 2y
Simona I also think that is it Sherlock Holmes … 2y
TheKidUpstairs @KCofKaysville @batsy and @simona are correct! Sherlock Holmes is a very close second with 254 appearances (Dracula is at 274). @MicheleinPhilly Hamlet is a great guess, he's up there, just shy of 200 appearances. @vivastory not Poirot, but I bet Agatha Christie adaptations would outpace Dracula if you put them all together! 2y

Wasn‘t expecting such fashion detail! #draculadaily

“The strangest figures we saw were the Slovaks, who were more barbarian than the rest, with their big cow-boy hats, great baggy dirty-white trousers, white linen shirts, and enormous heavy leather belts, nearly a foot wide, all studded over with brass nails. They wore high boots, with their trousers tucked into them, and had long black hair and heavy black moustaches.”

#draculadaily starts with Jonathan Harker wanting every recipe ever and criticizing the local women for being "clumsy about the waist"

I really want to know what that means! How do I know if I'm clumsy about the waist?

Dilara I *had* to look it up! It looks like it's a euphemism. The women have large - or non-corsetted - waists. I don't know about you, but I would definitely fall in that category! 2y

“There are darknesses in life and there are lights, and you are one of the lights, the light of all lights.” Saw a beautiful copy of Dracula at a local bookstore and I‘m still itching to go back for it even if I have two copies of this novel 😅

Pip2 I was surprised at how much I enjoyed Dracula. I was expecting tacky and predictable but not at all. The movies are not very good though. At least the ones I have watched. 2y
K.M.-Forester @Pip2 I agree the movies have always been pretty terrible, but the novel was a masterpiece. I reread it at least once or twice a year 2y

Thanks for the tag @TheSpineView & @TheNeverendingTBR !

1- I enjoy reading classics. I read several as a teenager, but haven‘t so much as an adult. I would like to read more.
2- I read Crime and Punishment when I was younger and liked it. So more Dostoevsky. Anna Karenina and War & Peace by Tolstoy. I haven‘t read Jane Austin so I would like to see what the hype is about. I plan to read Carmilla this year.

Un classico della letteratura gotica; questo romanzo epistolare, non il primo sui vampiri ma sicuramente il più influente, spiana la strada per le successive opere grazie a un'atmosfera piacevolmente inquietante, soprattutto nella prima parte, ambientata in Transilvania.
Lettura lenta, ma accattivante.
