Episode 14: Seduction, Suspense, and Structure: Writing Lessons from Dracula

from Stories That Change Us · host Kat Lewis

Dark, seductive, and terrifyingly atmospheric—Bram Stoker’s Dracula isn’t just a gothic horror classic; it’s a masterclass in mood, suspense, and novel structure. In this episode, we analyze Dracula, exploring how Stoker uses lush imagery, slow-burning tension, and themes of sexuality, superstition, and science to craft a bestselling story that still resonates today. Discover what modern writers can learn from this enduring masterpiece—and how to apply those lessons to your own fiction.Moderated By: Melissa Grace  https://instagram.com/storiesthat_changeus?igshid=eTlibmFxdXZmbXV5&utm_source=qr
