18 February. --- I started reading Dracula by Bram Stoker last week. I was expecting a rather bone-chilling and possibly scarring reading experience to commence, but so far I haven't been too terrified. The suspense, though, has been absolutely, deliciously terrifying and terrific! I admit, the first ten pages or so took a bit of resolve to soldier through; but after Harker arrived at Dracula's castle, things started to get quite interesting. I am enjoying the exposition, tension, and steady pacing of the plot so far. As someone who has read quite a few novels and watched various films/television shows concerning vampires (The Vampire Diaries, The Vampire Academy, The Historian, Buffy the Vampire Slayer, and the inevitable Twilight), I've picked up a thing or two about vampires---and definitely how to defeat/slay them! And so in my suspense, I've been chanting quite fervently for Harker to pick up a wooden stake and drive it through Dracula's heart, or harvest vervain to burn the vampires' skin (or ingest it to prevent any feeding), or TAKE ADVANTAGE OF THE SUNLIGHT TO RUN! So I think that it's safe to say that I'm quite invested in this story so far, and I am definitely looking forward to continue.
*I highly recommend listening to this while reading/watching this blog post; I found it to be an amusing and enjoyable experience!
