My recent audiobook selection for Doing The Dishes.
Imagery and dialogue were S-tier. It wasn't as frightening as I had expected bc it never truly felt like the Count posed an imminent physical threat to anyone other than Jonathan at the beginning - which was my favorite part. The horror relied more heavily on fear of god/uncleanness (Nosferatu (2024) prepared me for this). The final showdown was also super anticlimactic.... I WANTED TO SEE THAT VAMPIRE FIIIIIGHT. Oh well.
Here are some quotes and thoughts I had throughout (SPOILERS):
- "I am all in a sea of wonders. I doubt; I fear; I think strange things, which I dare not confess to my own soul."
- "For nothing can be more dreadful than those awful women who were... who are... waiting to suck my blood!"
- It is so mean and so beautiful that Stoker made Dr. Seward one of Lucy's rejected suitors.
- Also, the way Seward and Van Helsing both refer to Lucy's condition as "OUR illness" is kinda romantic, no?
- "He was in a torture of suspense regarding the woman he loved, and his utter ignorance of the terrible mystery which seemed to surround her intensified his pain. His very heart was bleeding, and it took all the manhood in him, and there was a royal lot of it, too, to keep from breaking down" okkkk danielle steel!
- WHY ISN'T VAN HELSING TELLING JOHN SHIT?!!!?
- "I want to cut off her head and take out her heart" Oh there he goes....
- Van Helsing: "Are you satisfied now, Friend John?"
Dr. Seward: "I am satisfied that Lucy's body is not in that coffin, but that only proves one thing..."
Helsing: "And what is that?"
Seward: "That it is not there!"
Helsing: "That is good logic, so far as it goes"
- "Is it possible love is but all objective or all subjective?"
- There is a Dr. Seward's narrator sound-a-like contest in my bedroom tonight
- "Give me a fulcrum and I shall move the world"
- "Tell us two dry men of science what you see with those so bright eyes"
- Obsessed with these 5 incredibly dense men and Mina literally having every single relevant idea for the last ten chapters
