Dracula, The Castle

A courteous host, doors that are never locked and never open, and a guest who begins to count the days.

Retold for sleep from Dracula by Bram Stoker, first published in 1897 and long out of copyright. The story is Stoker's; every sentence here is our own.

Soft, warm, unhurried

Warm and clear, with an unhurried steadiness, a voice that settles a busy mind without ever rushing it.
