Favorite thing about Dracula Daily so far is that yesterday I read a post that had in-depth, well-researched analysis that could easily be mistaken for a published literary criticism of Dracula, except it casually makes a passing reference to “the polycule” without feeling the need to elaboratethisismyideaofhumor [1]
- In defense of Prof. Abraham Van Helsing, MD, DPh, D. Lit, ETC, ETC by jonathomas-harker

- Something unexpected from Dracula that the DD emails have revealed to me, is how much of a loser Dracula actually is., Archived version by reikiajakoiranruohoja and femmefatalegoth
As a long-time fan of Stoker’s book, Daily Dracula has me absolutely stoked because after decades of movie and TV adaptations slipping further and further from Stoker’s work, and watering down Count Dracula’s character into a generic romantic vampire and his enemies into milquetoast Victorian twats, the Internet is rediscovering that “Dracula” is really about a Victorian D&D party going full murderhobo on a megalomaniacal vampire supervillain as revenge for vamping their polycule sweetheart.livefromcastledracula [2]
