Whitby, 8th April, 1897. A great and sudden storm has deposited a foreign
schooner with sails set upon the sand and gravel of Tate Hill Pier. A search
revealed but a corpse lashed to the helm and at the moment of landfall an
immense bat filtered up from the below decks of the Demeter and disappeared
into the darkness. So begins the journey to the light.
Benedetto Robinson's Dracula:The Failings of Men reimagines Bram Stokers
Dracula with a female Van Helsing seeking agency and knowledge in the face of
overwhelming odds. Undeterred by conventions, established hierarchies and
disbelief, our hero builds a coalition to fight and exorcise the known evil and
monsters within their midst.
