Drácula, Bram Stoker
Esta novela gótica publicada en 1897 define el mito del vampiro moderno a través de una estructura de diarios, cartas y recortes de prensa que le otorgan un realismo sobrecogedor. La trama sigue el viaje del abogado Jonathan Harker al castillo del conde Drácula en los Cárpatos, detonando una invasión silenciosa hacia la ciudad de Londres que pone en peligro la vida de su prometida Mina. Lejos de las versiones cinematográficas de acción, el texto original se sostiene en una atmósfera de horror psicológico, la invasión de lo antiguo en el mundo moderno y el esfuerzo de un grupo de amigos guiados por el profesor Van Helsing para destruir a la criatura mediante el uso de la lógica, diarios compartidos y herramientas científicas de la época.

Podcast Episode: ROCK DEDICATION: He Never Died (Dedicated to JEFFREY
Now I know the mysteries of the sea, Tranquil emerald hues, emerald blues, enrapture me, Forever embraced with the mermaid queen, Now I know why the mariner nervously glances, Why no one on Grand Isle will ever say he died. For I too, will never die. They say he never died! In the night his spirit glides, Through the cold the sea roars, Pierre lives on forevermore. -
ROCK DEDICATION: He Never Died (Dedicated to JEFFREY JAMES LEBLANC, SR.)
Tranquil emerald hues, emerald blues, enrapture me, Forever embraced with the mermaid queen, Now I know why the mariner nervously glances, Why no one on Grand Isle will ever say he died. For I too, will never die. They say he never died! In the night his spirit glides, Through the cold the sea roars, Pierre lives on forevermore. ---HE NEVER DIED -
We seem to be drifting to some terrible doom.

🎞️ CINE 🎞️
Lo bueno de ver las películas a mi ritmo, es que me abstraigo de todo el ruido mediático de las redes y me centro en disfrutar con la mente abierta.
Visto el #Drácula de Luc Besson, y decir que ME HA ENCANTADO.
La comparación con la de Coppola es inevitable, y Besson (sabedor de su vigencia tres décadas después) no oculta su influencia en momentos puntuales, pero en vez de repetirla, opta por llevar la obra a su propio terreno, exacerbar el romanticismo y darle una visión mucho más “europea”.
Aquí las referencias son, sobre todo, los cuentos de hadas de su tierra natal, tanto en sus versiones literarias como en las filmadas: “Piel de asno”, “La bella y la bestia”, “El jorobado de Notre Dame” (tanto la original de Victor Hugo como, incluso, la versión Disney)… Pero también se permite acudir a obras foráneas como “El perfume” de Süskind y el cine fantástico-folclórico de la Europa del Este de los 60 (con el clásico de culto “Viy” de 1967 a la cabeza).
Si tiene sentido seguir adaptando la obra de Stoker tras cientos de versiones, es para aportar cosas nuevas, frescas, arriesgadas… y en eso nadie puede negar que Besson cumple con creces.
Sobra decir que el apartado visual es tan potente como cabría esperar, sin desmerecer tampoco al interpretativo.
9/10

No se los voy a recomendar ni ná, pero acabé emputado de haber perdido tanto tiempo con este par de noveluchas, y quería desquitarme sacándoles provecho de algún modo. Entonces pensé que sería divertido darles aquí un resumen despotricado.

Then I saw the trailers and my stance eased based on the beauty of those visuals.
I watched the uncut version of Robert Eggers' remake last night, and it was enjoyable enough.
Beautifully shot, and fairly well told, the remake doesn't fundamentally offer anything new but modernity for its own sake.
It won't deeply influence the future of the genre as the original has done, and continues to do.

When I first learned that there was going to be a remake of Nosferatu, I got pissed.
I had seen a presentation sponsored by the Goethe-Institut Washington, in D.C., in a small theater on the National Mall with live music back in the early 2000's and loved it.
For me, a remake seemed not just unnecessary, but utterly hubristic given the historical significance of the original.

I devoured classic novels as a teenager.

“[Mike] Shepherd… believes the author deliberately pinpointed Cruden Bay, north of Aberdeen—then called Port Erroll, a small fishing village with a sandy beach & a windswept cliff-top fort named Slains Castle—as a retreat where he could concentrate on his writing”

Today is Dracula Day.
Some monsters never die 🧛♀️
Bram Stoker gave the world more than a vampire. He created a shadow that still follows us through books, films, dreams, and nightmares.#DraculaDay #Dracula #BramStoker #Stoker #books #vampire #literature #reading #today #onthisday #bookstodon @bookstodon #booksky #BookTok #readers #novel #horror #horrorbooks #bookstagram

“It is nineteenth century up-to-date with a vengeance. And yet, unless my senses deceive me, the old centuries had, and have, powers of their own which mere ‘modernity’ cannot kill.”

“I feel the dread of this horrible place overpowering me; I am in fear—in awful fear—and there is no escape for me; I am encompassed about with terrors that I dare not think of...”
