Re: Dracula takes the famous horror tale, breaks it up chronologically (every entry of this epistolary novel has a date), and sends the story directly to your podcatcher as it happens. Every time something happens to the characters, Re: Dracula will publish an episode, in as close to real time as it happens. Some entries will be brief, and others will be long and intense.

Re: Dracula

Tal sits down with Gabriel Urbina (of Wolf 359, Unseen, and Dracula: The Danse Macabre) to discuss Dracula adaptations, audio drama production, and more! You'll hear a trailer for Dracula: The Danse Macabre at the start of this bonus episode.

In Dracula: The Danse Macabre, centuries-old vampire Count Dracula leaves his home of Transylvania and comes to the new world, intent on reigning death and destruction upon it. Can Mina Harker and her husband Jonathan find a way to stop him before it’s too late? Bram Stoker’s classic is reimagined as a four-part audio fiction podcast, its timeless story presented as a dialogue between two of the novel’s iconic characters.

Short Story: Dracula's Guest

In 1944, the Office of Strategic Services, a precursor to the modern CIA, published a booklet called “Simple Sabotage Field Manual.” The booklet was designed to be passed out covertly to ordinary citizens in occupied territory during World War II, empowering everyday people to fight against fascism in all its forms. For some reason, this booklet is going a little bit viral lately, and given how much we love historical documents, we couldn’t resist a tiny foray into nonfiction.

Transcript

[Guitar plays under these clips]

MINA: 6 November - It was late in the afternoon when the professor and I took our way towards the east whence I knew Jonathan was coming.

SEWARD: 11 October, evening - Jonathan Harker has asked me to note this… as he says he is hardly equal to the task, and he wants an exact record kept. I think none of us were surprised when we were asked to see Mrs. Harker a little before the time of sunset. We have of late come to understand that sunrise and sunset…

VAN HELSING: 25 September, 6 o’clock - Dear Madam Mina, … I have read your husband’s so wonderful diary. You may sleep without doubt. Strange and terrible as it is, it is true! I will pledge my life on it...

LUCY: 24 August - I must imitate Mina and keep writing things down. … Then we can have long talks when we do meet. I wonder when it will be. I wish she were here with me again...

QUINCEY: 25 May - My dear Art, we’ve told yarns by the camp-fire in the prairies; and dressed one another’s wounds...

JOHNATHAN HARKER: 3 May. Bistritz - I had for dinner, or rather supper, a chicken done up some way with red pepper. (Mem.: get recipe for Mina). I asked the waiter and he said it was called ‘paprika hendl’.

Re: Dracula Trailer

In our first bonus episode, Hannah sits down with two vampire hunters in a very serious interview exploring the real life implications of real life vampires. This episode was hosted by Hannah Wright and edited by Tal Minear. The transcript was done by Rook Mogavero. This episode was originally published on April 1, so you can be sure that there's no shenanigans here. None at all.
 

The transcript is here.
 

Are we far enough into the show notes yet? Look away if you haven't listened to the episode yet! Alright... April Fools! I suspect you caught on, but these are not real life vampire hunters. Or vampires. We think. In this silly bonus episode, Helvetica was played by Brooke Jennett, a brilliant voice actor and producer on the excellent horror anthology podcast Thirteen (fans of horrifying audio drama, you have to check it out). Drakkon was played by Mason Amadeus, cohost of the nonfiction podcast Digital Folklore, and one third of the hilarious comedy show PodCube (if you want more ridiculous improv like this episode, PodCube’s the show for you). Our serious bonus episodes will start, along with the first of our letters from our good friend Jonathan Harker, on May 3.
