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 as close to real time as it happens. Some entries will be brief, and others will be long and intense.

We want to thank the folks who donated their work to the TTRPG bundle we used in crowdfunding! You can find all games on itch:
This Game Takes Place in Dracula's Castle by Jack Blair ($5). In this game, one of you is Dracula, the other is Jonathan Harker. You'll draw cards and answer prompts about moments where courtesy fails you in a precarious situation. Tension will build as you pull blocks from a tower. Will you get out without giving in to the monster?
Love/Hate Relationship: A 2 Player Dracula Based Letter Writing RPG by Tal Minear ($5). This game imagines what it would be like if Jonathan Harker and R. M. Renfield had a correspondence during the events of Dracula. One player writes as Jonathan, and the other writes as Renfield. Step into their shoes, build a story, and explore a lighter or darker ending to Dracula.
Four Sherlock Holmes and a Vampire (Who Is Also One of the Aforementioned Sherlock Holmes) by Andrew J. Young ($2). In this game, four players play four Sherlock Holmes who team up to solve mysteries and one-up each other. Secretly, one or more Sherlock Holmes may be vampires. Can the four Sherlock Holmes find out who among them could be a creature of the night?
I Want Your Bite by Rue Dickey ($10). In this game, a mysterious bachelor has recently purchased the manor house overlooking the town. They're in the process of starting a new life, and rumour has it they're looking for a partner. Compete against your fellow players for the chance at immortal love - a place by the Vampire's side.

Bonus 1: Hot Vampire Hunters in Your Area!
In our first bonus episode, Hannah sits down with two vampire hunters in a very serious interview exploring the real life implications of real life vampires. This episode was hosted by Hannah Wright and edited by Tal Minear. The transcript was done by Rook Mogavero. This episode was originally published on April 1, so you can be sure that there's no shenanigans here. None at all.
The transcript is here.
Are we far enough into the show notes yet? Look away if you haven't listened to the episode yet! Alright... April Fools! I suspect you caught on, but these are not real life vampire hunters. Or vampires. We think. In this silly bonus episode, Helvetica was played by Brooke Jennett, a brilliant voice actor and producer on the excellent horror anthology podcast Thirteen (fans of horrifying audio drama, you have to check it out). Drakkon was played by Mason Amadeus, cohost of the nonfiction podcast Digital Folklore, and one third of the hilarious comedy show PodCube (if you want more ridiculous improv like this episode, PodCube’s the show for you). Our serious bonus episodes will start, along with the first of our letters from our good friend Jonathan Harker, on May 3.

Customer Reviews
So good!
Quite possibly the audio drama event of the year! I tried to keep up with Dracula Daily the year before but failed miserably. However, I found it impossible not to get hooked on this audio equivalent. The cast were absolutely perfect and brought the text to life and I also really enjoyed the bonus content that provided some interesting context about the time the story was written in and how it likely informed the text.
Amazing podcast!
I have never read Dracula but thought I would give this a go and its incredible. The story is amazing and I now want to read the book to compare. The voice actors all do a brilliant job and completely draw you in. I have jumped and reacted to the story while on my commute which probably looks very odd! I particularly love Mina, she is acted so well - thanks to all the team for their work on this.
Dracula done right
The cast is incredible, and the team's approach to the text is nuanced and thoughtful - they've done a great job of adapting the book for a modern audience without changing or removing anything that makes it Dracula, warts and all. The sound design is fantastic too. All in all it's a blast to listen to - I can imagine revisiting it in years to come and listening day-by-day as events unfold all over again.
