Summary

My name is Miss Lucy. Let me tell you my story. It is a tale of a father’s despair, one man’s ambition, in a place where morality and mortality waver.

It was the summer of 1890 when theatre manager and writer Bram Stoker arrived in Whitby. After an arduous theatre tour, his stay was respite before returning to London. However, what he discovered enthralled and beguiled.

Mr. Stoker and I met each dawn on the East Cliff in the shadow of Whitby Abbey. On a bench overlooking the sea, Bram soon became the confidant I had yearned for. So, in faith, I shared the events that tormented my youth and left me haunted. And after that chance encounter, I will forever live within the pages of what became Bram Stoker’s masterpiece, for it was my story that inspired Dracula.

Mr stoked and I .

Just finished . What a brilliant read ,the way the story twists and turns. It is such a clever way of thinking how Bram Sticker might have come to think of writing Dracula.

Thought Provoking

The thought that Bram Stoker got his inspiration for Dracula from a ghost his inspiring.
I was transfixed from start to finish.
I found it very sad and felt desperate for Lucy and Richard.
I highly recommend.

Gothic chills

I listened to this during lockdown. It’s a story, and a tale told well, that takes you back centuries. The whole ambience is proper, straight laced, and all the more chilling for it. The narrator displays a vulnerability that immediately draws you in to her plight.
I loved it!!
