A bite-sized audio adaptation of the horror classic.

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 real time. Some entries will be brief, and others will be long and intense. Re: Dracula debuted at #2 on the fiction podcast charts, has seen over a million downloads, and was featured on Tumblr's 2023 year in review. Tor.com called it "a spectacular podcast."This audio drama is a faithful adaptation of the story we know and love, featuring a full cast to tug on your heartstrings and sound design to keep you on the edge of your seat. Content warnings will be present at the top of episodes, where needed. This project was directly inspired by Dracula Daily - a newsletter that delivers the story into your email inbox.If you missed the first Re: Dracula experience, don't worry, we're doing it again! On May 1, 2024, we'll be clearing the rss feed and reposting each episode on the days they happen.

Financial Review - This classic novel is finding new life as a daily newsletterOn Racism and Ableism in Dracula: Primarily, we'll be looking at the novel through a modern day lens - not necessarily changing the text, but approaching outdated sections with nuance. We want to experiment with grounded readings of Dracula, the sort of intimate acting that audio drama so often excels at. The majority of the novel will be read as is, including passages that are a product of their time if they are important to the story. However, some derogatory language will be changed, including slurs. Content warnings will always be present.Inspiration: This project was directly inspired by Dracula Daily - a newsletter that delivers the story into your email inbox. We're big fans of this ingenious way of reading the novel, and we wanted to take it to its natural next step and do a podcast.
