Once again, in honor of Halloween approaching… we give you, courtesy of poetryanimations, Irish author Bram Stoker reading from his great novel “Dracula” first published in 1897.
It was first published as a hardcover in 1897 by Archibald Constable and Co.
The excellent virtual recitation is provided by the very talented American voice artist LordJazor who has a very interesting youtube channel where you can hear a longer segment of his reading of Dracula.
Sylvia Plath reads “November Graveyard”. Sylvia talks about the cemetery in Heptonstall. She was buried there in 1963.
Favorite lines:
Whatever lost ghosts flare
Damned, howling in their shrouds across the moor
Rave on the leash of the starving mind
A little treat for our readers on this blustery October day…
