What format does Dracula Daily use to deliver Stoker's novel?

Dracula Daily delivers Stoker’s novel as an email newsletter.

Dracula Daily is a free subscription newsletter that sends readers the portions of Bram Stoker’s Dracula corresponding to each date in the story. It uses the novel’s epistolary structure and calendar, allowing subscribers to experience the events in roughly real time rather than reading the entire book at once.

The project was created by web designer Matt Kirkland after he read the novel and began sharing updates about it with his daughter. It first ran in 2021 and became especially popular during its 2022 run, when online readers discussed each installment together like a book club.

Dracula Daily is not a podcast, radio drama, or printed magazine. It preserves Stoker’s text but reorganizes some material to match the dates on which events occur in the story. The novel spans May 3 to November 7, so some calendar days have no email while others contain substantial installments.
