one rec and one link to an essay

Maybe you're interested in the following two things I stumbled upon:

# This is an essay about the Evolution of Irish Gothic Through Colonial Trauma, Catholicism, and Cultural Hybridity from Le Fanu to Stoker. It focuses on the books Carmilla & Dracula, and the fantastic movie Sinners-- in case you haven't watched the latter the first part of the essay is worth reading too. I had some light-bulb moments myself. ;)

I apologized if I misphrased before, but I meant: adding some not so black and white layers (as if in: did Stoker maybe subcoutaniously wrangle with his countrymen being both conqueror and conquered? where could one read as much in his writings?) would broaden at least my reading horizon. I haven't read Dracula so far, but I'd keep this info in mind.
