I think it’s fascinating that the original horror of dracula is kinda lost on us because our cultural well has been poisoned. I don’t know any 6-year olds who can’t tell you vampires are EVIL or are unfamiliar with the name dracula. Reading the first chapter and seeing Johnathan, our beloved, think about asking his new friend COUNT DRACULA for help is comedic! Of course he’s walking into danger. We’re genre aware.

However, also while doing dracula daily, there’s a new kind of horror. Both the prolonged no knowing when the next entry will drop but the sadness and horror of having to sit with the characters and wanting so desperately to give our heroes a metaphorical rosaries to protect them. We know this is a sinking ship full of vampires, we know how dangerous the situation is, how woefully unprepared everyone else is.

Which brings me back to how the dynamic has shifted, and I think unexpectedly so. Originally, dracula’s horror comes from the audience being basically London. He is scary because it’s unnerving to discover what new and terrible calamity is coming. What new powers and murderous feeding will come next? Who exactly are we locked in this room with? Will we make it out alive? But now, the horror stems from the audience being the Transylvanians, desperately longing to catch Jonathan before he gets to the carriage, begging him to turn back now. We are condemned to watch the ship as everyone gets picked off one by one. It’s a different but equally visceral kind of horrorshow.

the brides: beyond dracula

(or, a list for those who would like to see more of the weird sisters)

🩸 A Dowry of Blood by S.T. Gibson - told from the perspective of Dracula’s first bride, Constanta, this is an alternate-universe story of the Brides through the ages, their relationship with Dracula becoming increasingly more abusive, and the three of them finally breaking free of this relationship. A slightly more detailed review here.

🩸 The Deathless Girls by Kiran Millwood Hargrave - a young adult prequel novel about the two dark-haired Brides, here reimagined as two Romani sisters. A slightly more detailed review here.

🩸 Dracula, Motherf**ker! by Alex de Campi and Erica Henderson - a very short graphic novel about the Brides and a crime scene photographer called Quincey Harker fighting Dracula in the 1974 Los Angeles. A more detailed review here.

🩸 Van Helsing (2004) - that one action movie where Van Helsing is an immortal monster hunter played by Hugh Jackman, and also Frankenstein’s monster is there. Love this movie or hate it, it can’t be denied that the Brides play quite a big role in it.

🩸 Bit (2019) - not a Dracula adaptation, but still a vampire movie that draws on the concept of the Brides of Dracula. The main character, Laurel (a trans woman played by a trans actress), moves to LA to her brother after graduating high school, is bitten by a pretty girl she meets at the club, and joins a vampire girl gang. The power dynamics in the group eventually lead to a confrontation complicated by the return of a powerful ancient vampire called ~Vlad~ (there’s a flashback sequence about him set to Rasputin by Boney M. If you even care).

🩸 The Invitation (2022) - if you don’t mind some randos (because the Harkers would never!) being given the names of the characters of Dracula, here’s a Gothic romance/horror movie about a young American woman Evie, who finds out she has relatives in England, accepts their invitation to a wedding, goes to England where a rich lord starts courting her, and then all hell breaks loose. This one goes the easy way of making Dracula young-looking and handsome, but I’d say he’s still scary enough, and if vampirism was taken away, this could still be a horror movie about fucked up rich people à la Ready or Not.

🩸 The Brides (2020) - before the pandemic, ABC was developing a TV series about the Brides in the modern world, starring Gina Torres as one of the three. Then COVID-19 happened, and the show got scrapped. Only the trailer remains. By the look of it, it would have been cheesy, but I still found it interesting to get a glimpse at what could have been.

#dracula daily #dracula #bram stoker #the brides of dracula #a dowry of blood #s. t. gibson #the deathless girls #kiran millwood hargrave #dracula motherf**ker #van helsing #bit 2019 #the invitation #the brides 2021 #gella talks dracula #talk talk talk #my contribution to the Simping for Female Villains trend on tumblr is caring about these ladies more than stoker probably intended #fell free to add any media if you have any more suggestions!

In every generation there is a chosen one. She alone will stand against the vampires, the demons, and the forces of darkness. She is the Slayer.

And it sucks, sometimes. She had other plans in life other than chase the undead in cemeteries, you know? But still, she has come a long way from the scared little Slayer she was. Nowadays, she's just sick of these 600+ year old immortal men who think she is substitute for therapy.

Little does she know: the stakes are higher than ever.

I shall be glad as long as I live that even in that moment of final dissolution, there was in the face a look of peace, such as I never could have imagined might have rested there.

Vlad is mysterious, but he's kind. She's sure of it. He has assured her they will find the reason for the spots in her memory, and the wounds on her neck. She's not afraid with him. In truth, she's in a blissful daze… She can barely remember meeting him, or how she got here, or… who was waiting for her. Does she have anyone else?

She doesn't need anyone else. She has Vlad, and life is bliss.

Because I take things away from stupid, evil old men. It's what I do. I've always done it. They deserve to lose everything. And I deserve to have all their stuff.

Laia doesn't really remember her human life at this point. And does it matter? What is a human to her?

She likes watching them, though. She likes the blush blooming in their cheeks when they are in her presence. She likes the way they try to emulate her, to show her they are worthy of being near. She likes how they bare their necks, eager. She likes the horror sweetening their blood when they realize they will not survive her, because they are nothing.

Just like she was nothing to Vlad.

Just like he is nothing now.

#in this AU thing‚ Laia was enthralled by Vlad. imagine he was her Angelus #she gradually loses her sense of self. eventually‚ after she turns‚ she manages to kill him #and it's all tragic‚ because the girl she used to be technically died in a horrible way #but she's serving‚ and she had her revenge 🙏‍#and if you want a story in this style‚ I'm reading A Dowry of Blood by S. T. Gibson. it's pty fantastic so far 🙏‍incredibly well-written!#first excerpt is from Buffy The Vampire Slayer‚ second one from Dracula by Bram Stoker‚ third one from Castlevania (TV)#romance club #dracula a love story #myedits

Do you know of any other similar gothic stories from the same time period as Dracula?

If you want a much wilder and much more racist ride than Dracula, it was published the same year as Richard Marsh's The Beetle, a gothic novel which also features a very sad initial narrator, a hyper-competent heroine, and a marauding foreign menace. It should be noted, however, that the very rough equivalent of Jack Seward is just a blatant supervillain who nobody notices is a supervillain. Instead of "She doesn't love me so I did some questionable psychiatry :'(", he's "She doesn't love me so I'll turn my thoughts to my unstoppable death gas >:("

You should also definitely check out Carmilla (1872) if you haven't, as it's an earlier vampire story that obviously had some influence on Dracula. While I cannot, in good faith, recommend Trilby without warning that it is overtly and unapologetically antisemitic to the point of being difficult to read (I would not read it again were I not doing scholarship that touches on it), it definitely has a mesmeric villain who may have influenced Dracula and it might be of interest to people interested in tracing mesmeric fiction or looking to literary precursors of The Phantom of the Opera.

Beyond that, I greatly enjoy almost all the hit fiction of the late Victorian gothic revival (Strange Case of Dr. Jekyll and Mr. Hyde, The Picture of Dorian Grey, The Great God Pan), but I'm not sure there's anything off the top of my head that strikes me as being particularly Draculaesque in particular beyond what's listed above. If you're interested in tipping into the 20th century, Stoker would later go on to write a mummy novel (The Jewel of Seven Stars) that uses a lot of the same tropes and character types as Dracula (the hero, like many of the heroes of his novels, is a hot young lawyer). Jewel isn't nearly as good as Dracula though in my opinion.

... As the maps they make in Transylvania cannot be compared to those created for the War Office* back home in England, I could not locate Castle Dracula on any of them. ... * ... In Dracula this sentence reads: “I was not able to light on any map or work giving the exact locality of the Castle Dracula, as there are no maps of this country as yet to compare with our own Ordnance Survey maps.” In fact, the military maps of the Austro-Hungarian Empire, including Transylvania, were highly detailed, but not available to the public.

Powers of Darkness: The Lost Version of Dracula (Bram Stoker, Valdimar Ásmundsson, Hans Corneel De Roos)

Let that sink in.

Military maps at the end of 19th century were highly detailed- therefore it took a lot of time for them to be made-, and they were "not available to the public". If an army won't let even their own unauthorised citizens view them, how likely is it that their loss would be simply handwaved, especially in middle of a conflict?!

There should've been an inquiry. None of the cartographers present should've left the camp, hell, why weren't they immediately taken into custody?!

I've written it before, and I'll keep asking- if Alina has such awful issues being discriminated to the point, when she wasn't even fed, how the hell is she allowed anywhere near the skiff after this? Her unit should be no. 1 suspect in sabotage of war effort, she herself volunteered to "help" right after the deed was discovered... how does suddenly nobody suspect her of being a Shu spy?!
