Fine, if no one else will say it, I will.

Dracula is a total weeaboo for London.

He would learn English just to watch Dr Who without the subtitles because "that's the proper way to enjoy the art form"

Man is one industrial revolution away from having a King Arthur body pillow.

He is peak cringe and that's part of what makes this a horror story; being stuck with a super cringe roommate.

Jonathan is NOT trapped in a time loop Jonathan is trapped with a toddler who keeps asking him to tell about the time mama and dada killed a vampire with his uncles (and aunt).

idk guys when people come over to my place I also say “welcome to my house, enter freely and of your own will” it’s a very normal human person thing to say

Déjà vu

Can we talk about “Mem. get recipe for Mina” for a second? Because other than just being a line that makes me smile EVERY time I see/hear it, it’s also the first mention we get of Mina!

I love this line for a multitude of reasons. It’s such a casual way to name drop a character and we don’t get any further elaboration on her, but we can gather that a) Mina is important to him in some way b) she will appear later and c) he is thinking of her even while being immersed in his travels, which is basically all he talks about for this first entry. She is really the only mention he brings up outside of these travels (except for when he mentions researching his trip in London), his tie to his “real life.”

I think it’s one of the few times I’ve seen an author drop in a character’s name like that and not have the POV character we’re reading from elaborate on who they are, why they want the recipe, etc. (it’s also heightened by our reading Dracula Daily reading experience, of course, since we’re not binge reading). It’s truly the art of show, don’t tell.

Okay but if you put R.M. Renfield, Dorian Gray, and Victor Frankenstein in a room together who is winning that fight?
