Dracula by Bram Stoker Chapter 1

Welcome listener to 2021.  Scream if you want to get off!  Or perhaps you'd rather wait for the anaphylactic shock and/or govt. compo!

And with a raging toothache I bring you yet another unasked for chapter from a classic public domain work.  This time it's Dracula by Bram Stoker with the occasional lugubrious dull-witted addition from yours truly...

What 2 works (Dracula and 1984) better sum up the zeitgeist or rather what 2 works of literature do the behavioural psychologists reach for as they attempt to conjure their next outrageous and hysterical mitigation policy, with half an eye to the cultural 'fear porn' switches they can flip on their experimental guinea-pigs.

It won't be much fun, this mass unhitching from the Age of Reason, but we're not quite at the point where we need to lob ourselves into the volcano.

2021.  Do not go gentle.  At least we've still got professional sports!

An audiobook narrator who just can't focus on the job in hand. His digressions take him further and further off-piste.
Now including the complete and unabridged The Lost World by Arthur Conan Doyle. Personally, I wouldn't recommend it.
And now we're engaged in a tug of war between Chapters of Dracula by Bram Stoker and 1984 by George Orwell.
