@WordsofRABlack Stephen King refers to his work as the fast food of literature (in On Writing, I think), and the thing that strikes me is... it isn't. I think about the implications of The Shining re: alcoholism... or the poignant descriptions of grief in Lisey's Story... I wonder if that fast-

@dhwrtr @AlexWoodroe I like Carmilla! Sheridan Le Fanu is a delight. I think that there's absolute truth to Carmilla deserving some of Dracula's glory, but I also think the latter work sets itself apart for the breadth and scope it has--the vampire affecting the whole country. Both are great!

And I’m with @AlexWoodroe: it chafes that Stoker should be so famous for writing about a folklore from a culture not his own, and further that his “vampire” should be the one we know so well. All I’m saying is: Bram Stoker’s Dracula (film) is not actually Bram Stoker’s Dracula.

I'm trying to savor it, but I can't stop reading. More coherent review to come when I'm done, but if you haven't picked up THE LAMPLIGHTERS by @StonexEmma yet, you MUST. YOU MUST. A Gothic with such a strong voice that it feels timeless, a book wed to the mercurial sea...
