Sneople of the Night

Halloween is quite a ways away, beloved listeners, but for the Sneople (and Jonathan Harker), vampire season has just begun! This week, Matty, Ezra, and Helena talk about the new craze sweeping (parts of) the Internet - Dracula Daily! For those who haven’t heard, Dracula Daily is a Substack where pieces of the original Dracula novel is emailed to you as days pass in the novel - since the novel is told through diary entries, letters, news articles, etc, each section is dated and therefore easy to break up and send out on the days in which events occur rather than by chapter. Our hosts, made up of two long time Dracula fans and one Dracula new comer, discuss the trend, why it’s taken off, and why they’re all enjoying it. They also use this as an excuse to discuss various Dracula film and TV adaptations - they’re looking at you, 2020 BBC Dracula mini series. The Sneople would like to use this section that’s normally saved for some kind of closing joke to make a prediction that starting May 16th there is going to be a rise of Jonathan Harker/Count Dracula fanfiction and they’re not particularly excited about it. If they call it into being by making this prediction, they are very sorry.
