Get yer semi-daily Dracula fix here!

Dracula was written as an epistolary novel, where the story is presented as a series of documents. I'm breaking it up into a serial format using the date stamps on these documents to follow the actual time frame of the story. The twist is that we're six months off... mainly because I really wanted to do this right now now now and the actual novel doesn't start until May. More details on the project here.

The entries are not completely regular, so there will be some days with no posts and some with multiple. In the absence of a time stamp I will set posts to go up in the early AM.

Please excuse our appearance while we are under construction!


Poenari Fortress - a known stronghold of the Historical Dracula

 I'm taking another stab at a project I've been trying to nail down for a number of years now. The original Dracula novel is presented as a series of time stamped correspondences so my goal is to present them on the internet entry by entry according to those time stamps.
This coming November 2015 I will start a fresh presentation of Dracula in the Off Season.
I will be posting the novel in a sort of serial fashion, but precisely six months off of the actual time stamps in the story. 

 I hope to run this at least twice. Once in the "off season" on this blog which will be six months removed from the actual novel and starts in November, and again in May following the exact dates of the novel on our big sister blog Dracula In Real Time.

All previous runs have been removed from this blog in preparation for November 2015, but the full 2011 run is still up on Dracula in Real Time if you want to get the general gist.

My goal with this run is to get the text down clean so that when I do it again in the Spring I can add some neat tweaks. I've done this before (per my last post) but was never happy with the final outcome so I'm hoping a fresh copy of the text and some ideas about what went wrong last time will finally do it.

 The main feed for the off season will be here, but I'm going to try to integrate with social media platforms to make it easier to keep up so keep your eyes peeled for more platforms.

More details will be posted here and at the Facebook page as we get closer in.
