This series is, I think, quite popular, but I have myself only seen about ten minutes of an episode which didn't make me come back for more.Niels K.

Thank goodness for poorly maintained RSS feeds, or I might have thought you'd gone away.<br /><br />I'm about halfway through the doc on YouTube right now, and although I know 10% what you do about the subject, I've already lost count of all the errors of omission and errors of commission. And that's just on the literary side. (Where is Oddyseus and the hungry shades? Polidori? Varney?) And Sheridan LeFanu did more for the sexualization of vampires than Stoker, IMO. I think the most egregious literary error was the portrayal of Lucy Westenra as a sexually liberated woman, instead of the truly horrifying Bloofer Lady, who seduced and devoured small children.<br /><br />I am curious about the many dramatic scenes from what appears to be a recent Stoker adaptation. Is this a thinly disguised promotion for some new BBC adaptation?Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
