If the author of Twilight couldn't be buggered to read Dracula, neither could any of the fans.
This makes me inexplicably weary. Dracula is the only book about vampires that I regard with respect. Every other book after that should be thrown to the sharks.
'If the author of Twilight couldn't be buggered to read Dracula, neither could any of the fans.' How the heck do you write a vampire story and NOT read Dracula? Oh wait... I forgot that Meyer's 'vampires' are just really strong humans that sparkle. *rolls eyes*
I know it's almost unfair to expect anyone to accurately describe Dracula, but what really gets me is that in canon, all his relations with human women bore strong rape overtones (especially the scene with Mina.) And now everyone makes him seductive, and portrayals have the women going to him to escape their broing lives.
