Dracula – Chapter 7: Cutting from The Dailygraph, 8 August: A Chapter-by-Chapter Reading of Bram Stoker’s Classic

In this chapter, the narrative leaves personal journals behind and shifts into a gripping newspaper account — a dramatic report of a violent storm at sea and the arrival of a ghostly ship. The Russian vessel Demeter crashes onto the Whitby shore with no crew left aboard, its captain found dead and lashed to the wheel. A huge dog-like creature leaps from the wreck and disappears into the night, leaving only fear and speculation behind.

Through eyewitness testimony and sensational reporting, we witness the creeping intrusion of the supernatural into everyday Victorian life. Mina and Lucy remain unaware of the dark presence now stalking their peaceful seaside town, while the shadow of Dracula spreads farther into England with every passing moment.

This is Chapter 7 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 the mystery of the doomed ship, the storm-lashed terror, and the sinister arrival that marks the beginning of England’s nightmare.
