The Historian: Chapters 49-64 | Nothing Says, 'Marry Me,' Like Head Hunting

Hey readers~ This week we’re going to Bulgaria and meeting a whole new host of characters in Elizabeth Kostova’s The Historian. Paul and Helen have discovered even more evidence, with the help of Turgut Bora (who we now know is in a special guard designed to hunt down Dracula himself), and they’re following it all the way to the source. They gain a new babysitter thanks to the Cold War politics of the time, as well as a new research helper, one Professor Anton Stoichev. With Stoichev’s help, Paul and Helen make their way to the mysterious Sveti Georgi Monastery, where secrets untold will be revealed… Will they find Rossi soon? There’s not much book left, and we’re getting worried! Join us this week as we theorize the origins of the mysterious dragon books and why it has led them this far with no Dracula to be found. I’m starting to think this book was just a personal passion project… what about y’all? Let us know your thoughts in the comments! You can find us on Instagram, Facebook, Threads and Youtube @themidnightreaderspodcast. Interested in more from us?
