PLEASE SHARE THIS EPISODE in your social media so others who loves strange and macabre stories can listen too! Find all of podcasts I host at https://weirddarkness.com/links.
IN THIS EPISODE: “The Last Voyage of Demeter” is an extract from the most terrifying vampire fiction in literary history, Bram Stoker’s “Dracula” from 1897. The thrilling novel is a gothic horror classic written in epistolary form through a series of journal entries, newspaper articles, and correspondence. This is the book’s suspenseful Chapter 7, delving into the final sea voyage of Demeter, the Russian ship unknowingly carrying Transylvania’s undead Count Dracula. When a ghost ship arrives in Whitby harbor, the locals search for clues about how the doomed vessel’s crew vanished. Soon, the captain’s log is discovered, but the translated correspondence does nothing more than strike terror in the hearts of all who read it. Weeks before its final destination, strange and supernatural events began haunting the ship. The captain started keeping a log to record the death, darkness, and fear that had taken hold of his crew. Of course, “The Last Voyage of the Demeter” was also recently made into a film – but we’re working from the original writings of Bram Stoker here, not a movie script.
