I’m very drunk, so I’m probably missing several.
EDIT: like, I can’t believe I remembered Ulysses but not Dracula! I love the stylistic discrepancies between the different voices, but I somehow enjoy Stoker more than Joy ce on this one… most of the time, though really respect Joyce in this. Probably better if you’re Irish or a Newfie. Also, I want to do a special call out to Irish author Sheridan Le Fanu with Carmilla, which IMO… should be read before Dracula, and before that read the poem by lazy author/poet Samuel Taylor Coleridge… Romantic period English poet who has written some brilliant shit.
I describe myself as a little dose of toxic masculinity.
