am i reading a novel adaptation of a video game or a psychology text book holy shit

man, i had high hopes that the novel would be better than the manga. this is not it

this is so funny, i really like how without Mina they would be absolutely fucked, she is the smartest person in the entire book.

college was kicking my ass so bad now i can finally finish this

lowkey impressed that the period misogyny actively hindered their efforts and this is acknowledged in the text and fixed by letting the smartest character (Mina) back into the team

TIL that 'sperm' used to refer to the wax drops of a candle. at least i hope, otherwise Van Helsing is being very inappropriate in this family tomb.

the notion of blood transfusion with no knowledge of blood types is insane to me, they were really just doing whatever back then

van helsing mentioned for the first time, cheered

he's in the throes of a violent delirium and she wants to marry him on the spot 😭 true love i guess???

okay so Mina is also at least bi-curious incredible

"Why can't they let a girl marry three men, or as many as want her, and save all this trouble?"

okay Lucy, i see you queen

i'm really liking this characterization of Dracula, and i feel like not enough adaptations utilize his control over wolves

'Then the Count turned, after looking at my face attentively, and said in a soft whisper, "Yes, I too can love."'

this is fucking crazy, bet he wonders if the Harkers are looking for a third

lizard dracula with his dogs out crawling down the castle is an insane visual love it

love the idea of Dracula pretending to be a coach driver with full fake beard and then running real fast around the castle so he could open the door for Jonathan

'woah this old painting looks like my beautiful lady friend... can i please hang it in my bedroom?'

do i even need to say anything folks.

my god i underestimated the extent of just HOW accidentally gay this book is. this is insane /pos

big fan of gothic lit heroes being like 'oh i was all on my lonesome, so sad and alone... oh and also there were the servants but who cares about them amiright'

'we used to live in your house......... now we're DEAD in your house!'

incredible, fantastic, no notes

doing a weekly goosebump with my boyfriend. never read them before!

love the book so far, but not too fond of johnny's interjections. i do not give a damn about your sex life dude

this goes hard
