If anyone is interested in knowing about where bram stoker got his information abrout transylvania seen on these past week from, pages 200 to 233 of this edition of bram stoker's notes show an annotated version of what we know he gathered (including the sources he checked) (there's also a few handwritten annotations on these pages about (mostly unused) ideas bram had for the plot (although the first section of the book ellaborates on this much further)
These 33 pages cointain a few spoilers on the editor's annotations below each each transcription (and the rest of the book is obvously full of spoilers for the entire plot), so new redears beware
(examples:)

On May 7, 1945, the word went around: Germany had surrendered. The war was over! New Yorkers lost no time in celebrating, although V-E Day wasn't until May 8.

I'm on the train to the seaside. The Belgian coast is but a lousy 65 kilometres and doesn't look like much, but I always love being close to the endless waves of the North Sea.
It's where my youngest sister settled, and there happens to be a straight connection from my town to hers. Less than two and a half hours of empty space. A gift that makes me grateful teleportation is a thing of the imagination only.
The journey would take a little shorter if I transferred twice, but it would take away the uninterruptedness of this stretch of time that I covet. It might be better for my back, though, if I did, occasionally, have to remove my bottom from my seat. Food for thought.
When I walk from the station to my sister's place, there are birds flying silhouetted against the steel blue sky, and daisies, arguably the most modest of flowers, scattered among the green grass.
Spring is here. The sea is calling.
