In the spirit of Halloween (this was uploaded on the site on Halloween but I was busy attending a wedding to make a YouTube version), we talk about Bram Stoker's famous gothic horror novel, Dracula, which spawned many vampire fantasy tropes (such as the teen vampire romance novel), how it differs from its many film and stage adaptations, and, most importantly, why it is NOT a "Beauty and the Beast" story! Also, Mina Harker is one of the most underrated classic literature heroines and the movies don't do her justice!

This episode was recorded live for $10+ patrons. Pledge now and you can listen to the next episode not only early, but live! Especially considering the next episode will be co-hosted by Magpiepony and TheLostNarrator (listen to it now on PodBean)!
