About this story
The castle has no servants, no mirrors, and a host who is courteous, learned, and never once seen to eat. Stoker told the novel in diaries and telegrams, and this season keeps that shape: everything is somebody's record. You hold the pen — in the castle, then at Whitby, where a ship runs aground with no living crew.
