I was delighted to find that one of the most famous lines from the Dracula story comes not from Hollywood as I'd thought, but from Stoker himself. As dawn approaches on his firstn night in the castle Harker writes:
I heard as if from down below in the valley the howling of many wolves. The Count’s eyes gleamed, and he said. “Listen to them, the children of the night. What music they make!”

This epistolatory novel starts today, 3rd May. I'm going to try and read it on the days the various documents were supposedly written on.
The first entry shows Harker a great deal more interested in food and recipes than I would have expected. It also does a good job of giving the feeling that from the Danube onwards, Harker is leaving the West behind and heading into the wild and uncharted.
