"'Do you wish me to stay so long?' I asked, for my heart grew cold at the thought." "What could I do but bow acceptance?"
"I was a prisoner, and that if I wished it I could have no choice." "...my only doubt was as to whether any dream could be more terrible than the unnatural, horrible net of gloom and mystery which seemed closing around me."
"I start at my own shadow, and am full of all sorts of horrible imaginings. God knows that there is ground for my terrible fear in this accursed place!"
"What manner of man is this, or what manner of creature is it in the semblance of man? I feel the dread of this horrible place overpowering me; I am in fear—in awful fear—and there is no escape for me; I am encompassed about with terrors that I dare not think of...."
The supsense builds wonderfully in this entry. Galpin's line delivery is so so good I honestly started to tear up. The Count sounds so reasonable with just a slight hint of threatening. Poor Jonathan's bit of peace being cruelly interrupted when he sees the Count crawling down the castle walls like a lizard... and then the next entry confirms he's in grave danger not just from Dracula. Never a dull moment in this castle for long, there's more gothic horror to be had!

imagine: you get your memories back after years of amnesia to find out your whole species is dead and earth doesn’t exist anymore. that the only thing left of your culture is your weird ex and his busted honda civic that barely even works that he stole from the government when he was 13. And he’s been taking members of an alien species for trips in his honda civic and they’re all like “woah it’s so cool” and you get upset because it’s NOT COOL it’s a honda civic, the turn signals don’t even work “wow it can go up hills” yeah OF COURSE IT CAN GO UP HILLS EVERY CAR COULD DO THAT. but they’ve never seen a car before so everything it does is the coolest thing ever. And your ex’s only tool is a fucking screwdriver which is somehow also cool to this dumbass alien species even though it’s a fucking screwdriver so you just look like an idiot screaming about how none of this is even cool it’s actually really shitty but your whole planet is gone so you can’t even prove it but also you’ve had a constant drumming sounding in your head since you were 10 slowly driving you insane. I would become evil too.
