Let’s Read Dracula Like a Fujoshi

For a while I considered calling this reading Dracula “like a pervert,” (because I find the word “pervert” very funny) but I think it’s important to let everyone know exactly what kind of pervert filter to expect and it’s this: I wanted to read Dracula because I heard it was gay (and by gay, I mean homoerotic).

I’m Dawn. During the day I am a writer and editor for novels, manga, etc, and a sometimes personal assistant. I’ve written a handful of Let’s Plays here on my blog that are a few years old now, but they still get traffic. A while ago I picked up a copy of Dracula with the intent to write a Let’s Read in the style of Ronan Wills, except hornier. Maybe I’ll even draw some stuff.

Starting May 2023 I will start reading Dracula in chronological order via Dracula Daily. The community around this subscription seems to always have a lot of fun so why not read it with them? This way, you can read along with me! It’s free, let’s do it.

If this blog sparks joy, please consider leaving something in my [tip jar], subscribing to my [Patreon], or joining us on [discord].

New:I’ve also started a [Dracula Research Wishlist] on Amazon if you’d like more Fujoshi Dracula.

Glossary

Dr. Lobotomy: This is Dr. John Seward, one of Lucy’s suitors. I’ve taken to calling him “Dr. Lobotomy” because he runs an asylum. As a queer, mentally ill AFAB human, I don’t care much for doctors who run asylums as people like me were often put away against their will, and sometimes lobotomized. So this is my petname for a man I wouldn’t trust with anything.
