once again flabbergasted at how anyone reads dracula as a bodice-ripper romance. like, i get it, ravishment fantasies are a big thing and no shade to that...but this is NOT erotic. like, at all. the way all the characters are so horrified they keep cutting off from the Actual Description does not lend itself well to wank material. jonathan straight-up doesn't include getting bit in castle dracula, lucy only refers to it obliquely as "dreams", renfield fucking died off-screen in a pretty brutal and violent assault, and mina has to talk around it and cuts herself off from the Juicy Bit.

it's very much played for horror, how bad does your reading comprehension even have to be to think it's sexy??
