Okay so Goldaming Life is so vampiric cult… right? And yay Iris and Lucy finally kissed.

White’s description of Dracula is mesmerizing. An insatiable hunger. Never able to be fulfilled. He hasnt been in this much, but his presence permeates the book. It’s rather like Bram Stoker’s Dracula, but done in a way that doesn’t bore the tits off me.

Christ all these vampires are fucking lunatics. But… fair. Though that all of them were made by Dracula is… disturbing. He is most obviously not dead and is probably that damned fox Iris keeps seeing

Okay so the three suitors are trying to get all of Lucy’s money, right? This reminds me a little bit of a Sherlock Holmes/Dracula retelling where Van Helsing and co were all scammers looking to steal the Counts fortune. I will say I feel terrible for Lucy, always running in search of love and affection she can seemingly never find. Her and Iris are rather similar, and different in other ways.

This may be blasphemous to say but it is giving Anne Rice. And the prose… My god. “I wondered what would greet him on the other side. I hoped, for his sake, that it was nothing. No dreams. Only sleep, perfect and dark and eternal.” Loving it so far.

The shift between past and present is giving me a bit of whiplash if I’m honest. But it’s interesting to see the mind of Lucy explored, especially in a book that doesnt bore the tits off me and make me want to claw out my eyes in rage.

Loving it so far. It helps that there’s a quotable lines left and right LMAO. ‘Breasts really are fantastic.’

I glimpsed some of the reviews lamenting this book and how it butchers Bram Stokers Dracula. Couldn’t be more excited. Fuck that horrible disaster of a book 😁
