    Eli is actually the female protagonist from "Let the Right One In". It's a Swedish vampire novel that was adapted to movie in Sweden and then later here in the US. It's an interesting take on the teenage vampire love story in that Eli isn't sparkly is an almost bestial in her appetites and the way she defends her lover.

    I would say that "Dracula" CAN be a difficult read, by today's standards, because the pace is much slower and the text much denser than we tend to favor today. However, it is worth the effort because, once it gets going, it really gets going and is great.
    On a personal note, being from Texas, I was amused that one of the main characters is actually from Texas.
    If you can't really hack it then the movie "Bram Stoker's Dracula" by Fances Ford Coppola, is a pretty close adaption (with some stuff added and altered as needed).

    OH MY GOD... I've heard about the beast of Bray Road!!! The picture of it stealing a deer out of a truck made me think about a legend up near Holy Hills. Then I paused the video to check where it originated from and sure enough... there it was... good ol' Wisconsin. My lovely homestate. Nice to know our werewolves are good enough for this book! Also did you know that in that same area there is another creature of sorts, its like some kind of anthropomorphic goat- bear hybrid. I love Wisconsin!

      Off topic, but the word "Penanggalan" comes from the word "tanggal", which means "to separate", so the beast itself is a disembodied woman's head with a trail of organs trailing from its neck.

  • @ainashmontgomery7653
    @ainashmontgomery7653 7 лет назад +1

    Elizabeth Bathory was a real person, but she is personified as a vampire in European folklore because of her acts that were similar to a vampire. When most people hear her name the word vampire comes to min because of what she did.

    • @tetsubo57
      @tetsubo57  7 лет назад

      All very true. It doesn't change the fact that she was a real person, not a 'monster' however. The narrative that 'bad people' are 'monsters' is unhealthy to my mind. If we spend our time guarding ourselves from 'monsters' we will never see the Bundys and Dahmers of the world. Humans commit monstrous acts, they are not actual monsters. Not to mention this is a book aimed at children. Perhaps not the best place to be discussing real world serial killers that bathed in actual human blood.

    • @ainashmontgomery7653
      @ainashmontgomery7653 7 лет назад +1

      She herself was not a vampire, but her acts led to the personification of a vampire. It is like two different Elizabeth Bathorys: one that was an actual human in time, and another for folklore.

    • @simonlordraise5660
      @simonlordraise5660 3 года назад

      She's still not a vampire. She's just a serial killer. It would be illogical to think of her more as a vampire than as a human when the obvious fact is that she was a human in reality.
      Plus, the fact is that she was mostly notorious as a human serial killer and not as a vampire.
      Vampires aren't real.
