I can’t judge if the pace of what is happening to Lucy is slow or if it only feels so because I know the outcome.
It was surprising and strangely pleasing to see that Stoker’s description of the assaults on Lucy are free of any hint of the erotic. It seems that part was added by Hammer Horror and their peers.

I was delighted to find that one of the most famous lines from the Dracula story comes not from Hollywood as I'd thought, but from Stoker himself. As dawn approaches on his firstn night in the castle Harker writes:
I heard as if from down below in the valley the howling of many wolves. The Count’s eyes gleamed, and he said. “Listen to them, the children of the night. What music they make!”
