Conversation
Mina: Oh, hello Mr. Swales.
Old Man: Listen, Mina, I'm sorry I upset you by talking about death before. It's just that death comes for us all, we can't escape it, we are all doomed forever, and I'm probably going to die right in front of you right now
Mina: -now openly weeping-
Old Man: no no no listen see it's fine, because everyone on earth could die at any second, really, even young lawyers who have fiancees waiting at home who really love them, so don't be upset
Old Man: because Death is always coming towards us on the horizon, like that ship over there in the storm
Dracula, presumably steering the Demeter: I DON'T KNOW HOW BOATS WORK

Mina: I have filled out the first entry of my travel journal! Half of it is detailed descriptions of the town and the other half is grim and morbid histories and legends about each landmark. Sir, could you tell me more about these scary stories?
Mr. Swales: Oh, you need not worry about those! Don't be scared, they're just tales. They're not for nice young ladies like you, just for tourists!
Mina, pupils blown out: Sir you do not understand I Must Know Every Spooky Detail

Mr. Swales, July 24: Don't you worry, young miss, there's nothing spooky here in Whitby these days.
Dracula, August 10: There is now.

Goodbye, Mr. Swales. I'm sorry for how you ended. After all your talk of disbelief, of folktales and histories made of lies, of your long life spent in a world that no longer fears the wild dark and the monsters sensible people no longer see in it, you had yourself proven so terribly wrong at the end. The fool-talk was true for you as it skulked up the hill.
Though he was no barghest, the black dog that came to meet you was no sane animal known to God. Not on four legs. Not when he rose up on two. Did you startle back and snap yourself to death to seek mercy out of his reach? Or did you have his help to remove you, an impatient paw or hand put cold and tight on a brittle throat to be rid of a witness? You can never tell us now.
I wish you'd haunt a while, though you have no faith in ghosts.
Your young mourners could have used the warning.

I'm sure I'm not the first person to talk about this, but I really want to give a big shout out to the @re-dracula team for making the Re: Dracula experience so accessible. And I'm not just talking about offering the whole thing for free, though that's still defintely an aspect of it.
For one thing, every podcast has a full and proper transcript. By "full and proper," I mean it not only covers the actual text being read, but who says what, what parts are said by which people, and crucially, describes all of the extra sound effects and musical cues they put in. Some transcripts are just a text dump, but this is a properly formatted script with all the bells and whistles.
Another thing is that each episode is prefaced by content warnings, where applicable. That is not something you can get from the original text, nor even Matt Kirkland's extra notes that come with each entry from previous years. Someone (or in all likelihood, multiple people) had to review the full manuscript for each podcast and figure out which themes required warnings. They then had to figure out how to make them specific enough to be useful but vague enough not to just be a flat out spoiler. That took extra effort and care, but it's going to make the whole thing so much more accessible to those who need them.

rereading dracula for the millionth time and a Thought occured to me. if van helsing’s accent and odd wordings are written down that means both a) seward was sat there doing impressions of him while recording his sad doctor man podcast and b) mina decided it was absolutely necessary to exactly transcribe seward’s van helsing impression when copying the evidence

I did not know what to say, but Lucy turned the conversation as she said, rising up:— “Oh, why did you tell us of this? It is my favourite seat, and I cannot leave it; and now I find I must go on sitting over the grave of a suicide.”
Lucy: "Why did you tell us this"
Mr Swales: "Because your friend keeps casually asking me for the most deranged trivia daily?"
