February 11, 2022 Episode 22: Vampire Wrap Up -- Part Five of our Stoker Dracula Series
In the first season finale of Sley House Publishing Presents Lit Bits, the guys bring it all home in their discussion of the lasting legacy of Stoker's most famous work. They discuss themes and craft, Stoker's influence on horror, literature, and pop culture, and who has the longer name: this podcast or Coppola's 1992 adaption starring Gary Oldman, Anthony Hopkins, and Keanu Reeves and his on-again-off-again British accent. They also throw in a little King, Anne Rice, and Richard Matheson for good measure.
