I thought some of you Dracula folks might enjoy my mother’s painting of Whitby Abbey. Shared with permission.

A post compiling my Southern Reach fanart thus far because I just read the fourth book in the series and I feel like there might be more fanart incoming...

Ah! It’s time for my Dracula Daily Whitby reference photo post! I tried to take some unusual angles, or ones that would specifically be useful for Dracula related reference.

Obvs, the town has changed since 1897, and it’s been about 6 months, so hopefully I’m remembering correctly where I took all of these.

1) View from across the Harbour from West Cliff by moonlight. This is, I believe, taken from near where the Westenra’s house was supposed to be. You can just see the Abbey and St Mary’s Church.

2) Similar view by daylight, from further inland and nearer the cliff edge. The bridge that connects East and West Cliff can be seen.

3) East Cliff and St Mary’s Church from the pier. Bonus seagull.

4) The red roofed houses going up the cliff side, like in pictures you see of Dresden, or whatever it is Mina describes…

5) View of West Cliff from St Mary’s Churchyard. The white/cream houses on the right are roughly where the first photos was taken from.

6) View from the very edge of East Cliff above the town. I’ve spent a long time trying to work out where Lucy’s favourite seat might be, and I’ve always wondered if it was supposed to be around here? But there are some other possible locations? (I had to lean over a barrier to take this.)

7) View of St Mary’s Church from inside the Abbey:

8) The Stately Home on the Abbey grounds. No one ever shows this, no one ever mentions it! Lucy and Mina would likely have walked past it on the way to Robin Hood’s Bay:

9) Obligatory Spooky Alley View - taken at night down one of the cut throughs on West Cliff. I think it’s called The Cragg. View across the harbour to East Cliff and St Mary’s Church.

10) Another possible angle for Lucy’s seat - outside St Mary’s Porch, where there are some flat tombstones. View across the churchyard to the top of the 199 steps and town.

And that’s my 10 image limit. I’ll try to post some more soon - including some slightly different angles on the Harbour and steps.

Enjoy Drawing Dracula!

The ruins of Whitby Abbey in North Yorkshire illuminated for Halloween. The town became synonymous with horror after the novelist Bram Stoker stayed there in 1890 and was inspired to write Dracula.

I've finished my re-read of the Southern Reach series and it has only confirmed that Authority is my favorite of the series and Whitby is my favorite character.

He's so relatable...who among us has not cried in the office supply closet and strangled your own doppelgänger with your bare hands...
