Don’t read Dracula

If at some point you get possessed and decide you want to read Bram Stroker’s Dracula let me save you a lot of time, don’t.  It’s unexpectedly racist; every character in the whole book has their ethnicity described.  Even for characters who don’t get names and are dead less than a page after they’re introduced.  And it has a bunch of Victorian era semi-porno in it.  Like at one point this chick is chasing after her sleep walking friend and the only thing she is thinking about is what would happen if a man saw them in their night petticoats.  She even takes the time to stop and cover her feet in mud so that they can’t be seen and cause inappropriate thoughts. Damn son, white man’s burden was his uncontrollable foot fetish.

I just want my vampire class to get to the 1990s and buffy were there are gender roles/outfits I can get behind.
