It's time to send Jonathan Harker eastwards by train, to rouse the vampire brides, to flirt with Lucy Westernra, and to prepare the Count for his trip west. Yes, it's May, and the hour has struck to relaunch the Draculablog.
("Dracula's Castle", by borderlys)
If the project is new to you, it's one where we post the entire Bram Stoker novel, each bit of content appearing on the date the book says it does. So a journal entry dated May 3 (no year) appears on May 3rd of this year. You can start with this post from the most recent running of the Count (in 2007), and work your way forwards.
I must confess to being outrageously busy. I can get things going and add some more content, but would really appreciate help from any interested person. So consider this a call for help, all brides and grooms of Dracula.
By "add some more content," I take it you mean things like Google maps, Wikipedia links, photos, essays, plus whatever else we find on the web? Basically a communal annotated Dracula?
I'll volunteer. Real email embedded below; let me know what I need to do.
(I commented on Dracula Blogged 1.0 as M Valdemar, before I got too busy to keep up with it. But that was before RSS. I was the guy who found the photo essay on an actual British asylum built in the 1890s about 30 miles northeast of London, right where Stoker said Seward's hospital was.)

That's the stuff, HP. Anything you can share would be great.
Same goes for you, kind peter.

I'll think about how I can help. If there's anything you think of before me, let me know.
