About this story
In the asylum beside Carfax a patient eats flies and promises obedience to a Master no one has met. The middle of Stoker's novel is a medical mystery before it admits to being a horror story, and it is played that way here, record by record. You sit the night watches, and the tomb at Hampstead waits on your decision.
Who you’ll meet
Count Dracula, the ancient predator now hunting Lucy Westenra in 1897 London — the menace the reader's archive circles.
