I did not remember this story having this much archaic race theory.

So fucking hot on this hum ass train and I got covid or something and this boom DOESNT FUCKING END

Chapter 22 finished. Was not a great session, might be my own headspace but I had a hard time focusing and am feeling less and less enthusiastic with continuing to read. Either way I've almost reached the end so I suppose I'll power through.

Chapter 19 finished

Chapter 16 finished. Visceral stuff.

Chapter 15 finished. Absolutely fantastic chapter setting up for an exciting encounter with Lucy. For the first time in a while during this read I felt myself immersed in conversations during both the reveal in the tomb and the arguing of Arthur and Helsing. I hope this quality persists.

Chapter 14 finished! Seems like we're getting somewhere... "They were made by Miss Lucy!"

Finished ch12. Lucy's death was a strange but heartfelt passage, and Renfields might during his attack of the transport men could practically be heard in its description. Great chapter. Very excited to see what comes next.

Ch 11 finished
FINALLY, YES, THINGS HAPPENING, THE HORROR THE FEAR THE WOLVES THE HOWLS THE DEATH. THANK YOU BRAM STOKER FOR REMEMBERING THAT INTERESTING THINGS CAN HAPPEN. THE BLOOD IS LIFE!

Ch 10 finished. Sort of a nothing burger chapter. Unless I'm missing something. Helsing and Seward get the help of Arthur for the blood transfusion and there's love and jealousy. I think the most interesting part was seeing how blood refreshes the newly embraced (?) Lucy, with the others not knowing she is a vampire yet.

Demeter is awesome.

Very good chapter, I love it's pace. There's a feeling of importance to everything that's being put on the page, while still managing to beautifully describe the environments of the story. The waves crashing onto the pier on a stormy night with great fury is etched into my mind.

Ch 6 finished. Loving Renfield and the way that doctor Shaw describes him. Still feeling that there's a lot of names and people that don't seem to bear importance to the story (Lucy's family and their doctors?)

Fisherman is cool and I love the accent even though I can't understand half of it. Excited to see where the story will go with Lucy and the Demeter crashing into land...

Whole chapter of girl gossip after the reveal of genuine evil???

"...I may find a way from this dreadful placd. And then away for home! Away to the quickest and nearest traim! Away from this cursed spot, this cursed land. Where the devil and his children still walk with earthly feet! At least gods mercy is better than that of these monsters, and the precipice is steep and high. At its foot a man may sleep as a man. Goodbye, all! Mina!" - Journal of Jonathan Harker, 30th of june.

I am being hypnotized!

Chapter 3 finished. Wives were different than what I expected. But they were fantastically horrifying. Great chapter.
