Il racconto di Dracula
That’s the story of Count Dracula, the most famous vampire of all the times. If this book which gathers diaries, transcriptions, letters, notes, telegrams, newspaper articles, and even train schedule falls into the hands of some curious readers, who knows if they will believe all what happened to the protagonists. Mina, the brave secretary fan of train schedule, turns into an adventurous reporter. Jonathan Harker lives in the castle with the Count challeging him in order to save his wife Mina’s life. Doctor Seward turns from a detective of the human psyche into an investigator of the occult. Professor Van Helsing accomplishes his mission from Holland throughout Europe: to destroy Evil. Quincey Morris, a brave and a bit loudmouth American, unfortunately looses his life. Lord Arthur, the miserable Lucy’s boyfriend, takes on the terrible task “to drive stakes through the hearths”. Renfield, the crazy fly eater, is slaved to the Count. And of course Him, the Count Dracula, charming, powerful, but probably slaved himself to a greater Evil. We like the idea that this weirdo club of characters is successful in fighting and overcoming the most tremendous vampire in the Carpathians, in the name of friendship and love. Even if, to be honest, deep down we root for Dracula.
