"Few creatures of the night have captured our imagination like vampires.
What explains our enduring fascination with vampires? Is it the overtones of sexual lust, power, control? Or is it a fascination with the immortality of the undead?"

Feel free to post any vampire-related content here. I'll be posting various vampire media I enjoy just as a way of kickstarting this community but don't let that stop you from posting something else. I just wanted a place to discuss vampire movies, books, games, etc.

CHAPTER VII

LOG OF THE “DEMETER.”

28 July.—Four days in hell, knocking about in a sort of maelstrom, and the wind a tempest. No sleep for any one. Men all worn out. Hardly know how to set a watch, since no one fit to go on. Second mate volunteered to steer and watch, and let men snatch a few hours’ sleep. Wind abating; seas still terrific, but feel them less, as ship is steadier.

Going "back" to the Demeter log in my paper edition, I experiment once again a feeling that had hit in my previously readings of Dracula. This novel in its published order is presented like a collection of paper. As if someone has done an investigative work, maybe of journalistic nature to figure out what happened and this would be the result.

I believe it is stated at the end of the book.

The long description of J.H doesn't feel like it but the correspondance of Mina and Lucy, followed by press article, follow by a few weeks of seal log really does.
