Episode 3 of 4. September 1893. Now trapped inside Carfax Asylum and at the mercy of Count Dracula, Mina Harker faces danger like never before.

Will Mina be able to withstand the horrors of Dracula's asylum? Or will the vampire succeed in his quest to corrupt her and make her the same as he is?

A transcript for the message at the top of today's episode:
Gabriel Urbina: Hey everyone. Series creator Gabriel Urbina here. I'm back in the feed because... while the count and Mina may have the week off, that doesn't mean that all of you don't need excellent audio fiction content to listen to while they get ready for Episode 3. So I'm here to tell you about another show that I love, and which - if you're enjoying our take on Dracula so far? - you should definitely check out.
Gabriel Urbina: This week, I want to tell you all about Victoriocity, the steam-punk comedy mystery detective thriller from Chris and Jen Sugden. Starring the amazing duo of Tom Crowley and Layla Katib as sardonic Inspector Archibald Fleet and intrepid reporter Clara Entwhistle, the series follows their adventures in the Even Greater London of 1887. Ruled over by the mechanized Queen Victoria, Even Greater London is a place of amazing inventions, dark villainy, and high adventure.
Gabriel Urbina: Victoriocity is one of those shows where.. you don't just listen to it, it kind of becomes your whole personality for a while after you first encounter it. The performances are pitch perfect, the writing is sparkling, the whole thing just brims with affection for the literature and storytelling tropes of the Victorian era, and it is, I cannot underline this enough, one of the funniest podcasts out there. And there's no time like the present to get obsessed with Victoriocity, since their first tie-in novel, High Vaultage, just came out. So for anyone that's been looking for a... Terry Pratchett-esquie steampunk adventure... well, tell you what, I'm going to do you a favor right now and play the first episode of Victoriocity for you.
Gabriel Urbina: So sit back, relax, enjoy, and I'll see you all back here next week for Episode 3 of Dracula: The Danse Macabre, Experimental Purposes.

Episode 2 of 4. August 1893. Schoolteacher Mina Harker lives her life on a tightrope, balancing her duties to her work, her social life, and her extracurricular interest in the occult. Her existence - and that of her best friend, Lucy Westenra - is disturbed by the arrival of a mysterious ship on the shores of New York City. Soon, they both find themselves drawing the attention of the newly arrived Count Dracula, who wastes no time in setting his evil plans for the new world into motion. Can Mina stand up to the count's dark designs? And what will happen when the ancient vampire finds himself finally facing a worthy adversary?

A transcript for the message at the top of today's episode:
Gabriel Urbina: Hi everyone. Series creator Gabriel Urbina here. Dracula: The Danse Macabre releases every two weeks, and this is one of the weeks when we... don't have a new episode out for you all. I'm sorry! But - but - but... I do have something to make it up to you. During these off weeks, I want to share with all of you episodes of other fiction podcasts that I love, and which I think you'll love as well. Think of it as... companion pieces to Dracula. If you've liked what you've heard of our show so far, you'll probably like these shows and should check them out.
Gabriel Urbina: The first podcast that I want to highlight here is The Case of the Greater Gatsby, by the fine folks over at Shipwrecked Comedy. It is a hilarious take on the conventions of film noir, as we follow the adventures of taciturn private eye Ford Phillips and his fast-talking partner Fig Wineshine. The two of them have to delve into the muck of 1940's Hollywood as they try to solve the murder of acclaimed novelist, F. Scott Fitzgerald.
Gabriel Urbina: Now, just from that description, you can probably already tell why I love this show. It's fast, it's snappy, it's got great dialogue, and it blends the lines between a literary adaptation and historical fiction in all of these really smart, creative ways. But I don't think anything I could say here would properly convey just how charming the characters are, how genuinely gripping the mystery plotline in the show is, and just how many fun, clever things they do with the audio format. So, instead of trying and failing, I want to just play for you the first episode of The Case of the Greater Gatsby. How does that sound? Good? All right, I thought so too. I am going to leave you now in the capable hands of Fig and Ford, as they take you away to 1940's LA.
Gabriel Urbina: Enjoy, and I'll see you back here next week, for Episode 2 of Dracula, A Stranger in a Strange Land.

Transcript for this Trailer:
Woman: The rules that govern the vampire are well known.
(Thunder crashes behind her. A storm grows in power beneath the following:)
Woman: He does not die, but clings to life forever.
(Dark, foreboding music plays beneath her words.)
Woman: Having lost his own life, he must steal the life of others by drinking their blood.
Woman: If a place is a home, he may only enter after he's been invited in.
Woman: He is destroyed by the sun and cowers at the sight of religious symbols.
Woman: He can be put to rest by a stake through the heart, or by the removal of his head, or by means of fire.
Woman: And when he crosses a mirror... he leaves behind no reflection.
Woman: And though the vampire may look like a man, all traces of intelligence vanish upon death, leaving behind nothing but a beast. There are no vampires that can think like a man.
Man: None... except for one.
(A powerful crash of thunder.)
Announcer: Dracula: The Danse Macabre. A four-part fiction podcast event from Gabriel Urbina, the creator of Wolf 359, bringing Bram Stoker's timeless horror classic to audio. Coming November 13th, wherever you get your podcasts.
