The Source Material, eh?

Stoker is indeed brilliant, and I love his lush Victorian prose.

And I agree, when (some) modern folks read Dracula, they may not realize that this is THE source material, the original granddaddy of all the Dracula / Nosferatu versions that have followed.

Yes, novel Harker is a more interesting character that how he's depicted in films.

As I re-read the book, I'll have more thoughts to share.

I'm really happy to be reading it - thanks to you! I agree with you wholeheartedly! It is the primary source and should be treated with more respect and reverence.

Let's do a journal or missive challenge!
