Dracula — Book Club Kit
🧛 The printable companion for book clubs reading Dracula — The Original 1897 Text: the novel made entirely of documents, verified against the first edition.
Inside the kit (35 pages, US Letter, print as many copies as your group needs):
• A three-meeting reading schedule — Transylvania and the Demeter; Lucy and the hunt forming; the chase home
• Who's Who — every major character, from Mina the archivist-hero to the Count who never writes a line
• A chapter-and-documents map of all 118 documents — who writes, in what form, on which dates
• The story behind this edition — Stoker's seven years of notes, the Whitby summer, the name found in a library book (with the honest caution about Vlad the Impaler), and the real ship behind the Demeter
• A short life of Bram Stoker
• A plain-spoken note on the period text
• The five explainers, condensed: reading an epistolary novel · the vampires before Dracula · the real geography · 1897 technology · the New Woman and Mina's typewriter
• 35 original discussion questions — one for every chapter, plus a whole-book set, spoiler-fenced for each meeting
• "Spot the Document" — attribute five real passages to their writers, and see what each writer cannot yet know
• Ruled notes pages
