It's Dracula delivered to your inbox daily. The novel is epistolary, and the letters will be delivered on the day and month they were "written," so it began May 3, but it would be easy to catch up in the archive.

(I have a feeling I would cheat from the daily emails and just grab the book and finish the damn thing!)



Thank you!

Go ahead and invite them to the group. :)

It's painless!
And we have a lot of fun here!

I got these audio books from the library if anyone would like to buddy read them with me. I’d like to stay next week.

Here's a few suggestions for buddy reads, not necessarily in the short term:
Fledgling by Octavia Butler (possibly after Dracula Daily since it's a more recent take on vampires).
Lovecraft Country by Matt Ruff.
Minion by L.A. Banks.
Rosemary's Baby by Ira Levin (not read yet).
Wylding Hall by Elizabeth Hand.
Also anything by Kai Ashante Wilson, Mariana Enríquez...
I have A House with Good Bones from the library and will be starting it Monday if anyone would like to BR it.

I'd be interested in Lovecraft Country. You posted this a while ago so I'm sure you've already read it.

I read this a few weeks ago. Good choice.

My reading is really down this month, for some reason. But this book was a guarantee-to-read.

That story uff, just looking at the title gave me goosebumps up to my eyeballs! Read it years ago, never forgot it, you should set up a buddy read for it :)

Hey, no date in mind. When would you be ready?

“Bram Stoker’s Dracula is an epistolary novel - it’s made up of letters, diaries, telegrams, newspaper clippings - and every part of it has a date. The whole story happens between May 3 and November 7. So: Dracula Daily will post a newsletter each day that something happens to the characters, in the same timeline that it happens to them.
Now you can read the book via email, in small digestible chunks - as it happens to the characters.”
does anyone want to join me with this?

Kimberley and myself are reading Just Like Home by Sarah Gailey if anyone wants to join :)

Just Like Home
“Come home.” Vera’s mother called and Vera obeyed. In spite of their long estrangement, in spite of the memories -- she's come back to the home of a serial killer. Back to face the love she had for her father and the bodies he buried there.
Coming home is hard enough for Vera, and to make things worse, she and her mother aren’t alone. A parasitic artist has moved into the guest house out back, and is slowly stripping Vera’s childhood for spare parts. He insists that he isn’t the one leaving notes around the house in her father’s handwriting… but who else could it possibly be?
There are secrets yet undiscovered in the foundations of the notorious Crowder House. Vera must face them, and find out for herself just how deep the rot goes.
