Dracula – Chapter 8: Letter from Mina Harker to Lucy Westenra: A Chapter-by-Chapter Reading of Bram Stoker’s Classic

In this chapter, the narrative returns to Mina Harker, who writes a letter to her dear friend Lucy Westenra. Mina recounts her reunion with Jonathan, now safely returned from his terrifying ordeal in Transylvania, and the relief she feels at his homecoming. Yet, the shadow of his experiences lingers — his strange behavior and troubled memories hint at horrors that are far from over.

Through her affectionate and observant voice, we glimpse Victorian domestic life and the intimate bonds of friendship and love. However, the letter carries an undercurrent of unease, as hints of Dracula’s growing influence begin to surface. Mina’s intelligence and resourcefulness continue to stand out, providing a calm counterpoint to the looming supernatural threat.

This is Chapter 8 of Bram Stoker’s Dracula, narrated by Amazon bestselling horror author Jonathan Dunne — part of a complete chapter-by-chapter audiobook series that brings the Gothic classic to life with haunting atmosphere, rich characterization, and cinematic storytelling.

Experience Mina’s warmth and concern, the tension of Jonathan’s lingering trauma, and the subtle dread that signals the dark forces gathering beyond their awareness.
