Summary


The original vampire

Since its publication in 1897, Dracula continues to terrify readers with its depiction of a vampire with an insatiable thirst for blood and the group of hunters determined to end his existence before he destroys a young woman's soul.


@BleedingGums A damsel is bleeding from her ears and eyes! She’s afraid of the sun! Like a ginger!

We must sort this out. She may be a vampire, but I can’t tell the father. He wonders if her ‘lady times’ are just out of control.
