Reflecting on today’s note from our friend Mina Murray, it’s easily one of the most chilling passages so far. We have not heard this perspective before: that of the vampire’s victim at the moment of danger.
(Regarding whether or not Jonathan was subject to Dracula’s snacking, we don’t know and that adds a light layer of unreliability to his diary - is he hiding it from Mina? Or was it later transcribed and edited out to protect his reputation?)
Back to Lucy. The sense I got from her description of her walk to the graveyard was that all of nature seemed to be trying to grab her attention to distract her from her intended destination.
I remember, though I suppose I was asleep, passing through the streets and over the bridge. A fish leaped as I went by, and I leaned over to look at it, and I heard a lot of dogs howling—the whole town seemed as if it must be full of dogs all howling at once—as I went up the steps.
It recalls Jonathan’s journey to the castle (which feels so long ago now!) during which he was disturbed by the howling of dogs and wolves, “as if from fear”.
Other readers have shared interesting insights into the presence of technology and the modernity woven into the text, but we are shown here that nature itself recognises the Count as innately wrong in every way that counts, and tries to raise the alarm to those under his influence.

so much happened in this whole episode but i’m still on fig infiltrating ruben’s dream, making it look like the place where his friend was murdered, and then disguising herself as kipperlilly & repeatedly saying different variants of “somebody needs to take the fall for this, and it’s not going to be me. it’s going to be you.” while adaine as the elven oracle shows up next to her. can you imagine waking up from that, the idea of a horrible truth being pinned on you by your friend to save her own skin while the personification of fate and destiny stands there, almost as a promise that this is GOING to happen to you. we don’t even know if this kid is guilty. my god.
