Reading Bram Stoker's Dracula In Real Time

Not really an original idea. So many books were originally serials. Charles Dickens comes to mind as a great serial writer. Armistead Maupin is a more recent example.

Dracula has been available for download on Project Gutenberg for years.

What a crazy book- all the talk about how to properly kill him, and in the end they (iirc) just cut his head off with a butcher knife.

Maybe some corporation can apply for a retroactive copyright as has happened with other works in some nations. Isn't that what they did with Peter Pan? That way a stranglehold can be placed that will last decades if not centuries. Or, a corporation can claim to have a copyright, demand payments from others, and dare anyone to take them to court and face staggering expenses (I'm thinking about a very popular special occasion song here).

Wow.. jus subscribed me too.. Agree with Carolina.. Its hard to read on a black background.. pains a lot..

:) Yea It was on neatorama previously.. :D the author's assistants failed/neglected to do apply for the copyright.. Sad story for their family..

This is a wonderful idea, however I just went to read the first installment, and he is presenting it on a black background with white script, which makes it painful, for me anyway, to read. I subbed via rss, and am hoping to read it that way. This is a brilliant idea. I hope others decide to do the same with other books.
