not sure how they were able to glaze tf out of the women while still being backhanded af. mina being “too smart for her sex” so they attribute her intelligence to men’s brain…that’s 19th century misogyny for you i guess. they had some cool scenes but their yappathons of reiterating the same idea were truly unmatched someone needed to take the pen outta Stoker’s hands

chairiareads's review against another edition

DID NOT FINISH: 23%

After a certain point the pov of the only character I am interested in just does not come up for 150 ish pages so I lost interest. Love the writing and the idea though, I just did not connect with any other characters enough to care.
Will probably return to it when I am done with the books I am more excited to read

My god Abraham Van Helsing is one long-winded old coot.

4th time reading, 3rd with Dracula Daily. Idk if I’ll do it again next year but it is always a pleasure to spend time with these goofy goobers.

3rd timing reading this book, 2nd time with Dracula Daily. It’s so much fun to read in real/time. I love it!!!

This was a re-read with Dracula Daily. It was cool to read it as it happened chronologically, but overall this book did not age well!!!! I loved the beginning at the castle, but it really went downhill from there. Very old fashioned and patriarchal and just mostly blech

Do you not think that there are things which you cannot understand, and yet which are; that some people see things that others cannot? But there are things old and new which must not be contemplate by men´s eyes, because they know -or think they know- some things which other men have told them. Ah, it is the fault of our science that it wants to explain all; and if it explain not, then it says there is nothing to explain
