Now this is a clever idea: Dracula Feed is posting every day of Bram Stoker’s Dracula
on the day that it actually happened in the book. Said author can get away with that because a), the book is written in an epistolary style (i.e., it was written out in the form of collected letters and statements*); and b), the book is public domain.
Should be fun. Also: I recommend, if you haven’t read them already, Kim Newman’s Anno Dracula
and Fred Saberhagen’s The Dracula Tape
, both of which work with the existing Stoker novel in new and interesting ways. I’d say ‘transgressive,’ but one would mock me, and the other would come back from the grave to beat me senseless.

*Which was, if I’m remembering either my English Lit classes or Stephen King correctly, was considered slightly archaic when Stoker wrote the novel.
