The classic vampire story by Bram Stoker revolves around a struggle between good and evil, tradition and modernity, and lust versus chastity. The author didn’t invent vampires, but his novel has so captured the public’s imagination that he is rightly considered their popularizer. Listen and you will meet not only the Count himself, but heroes Jonathan Harker and Abraham Van Helsing, plus an array of madmen, psychiatrists, and fair maidens who cross paths with the fanged menace.

German translation by Michael Kipping

sometimes i lay back and stare up at the stars
sometimes i sit alone in my room and cry till no more tears can come
sometimes i am so lonely i could die
sometimes i try my best to cry
sometimes i cant hold it in anymore
sometimes i cant get up outta bed
sometimes i cant sleep at all
sometimes i cant wait to see the sun shine
sometimes i cant wait for the dark to envelope all
sometimes i just want to be alone
sometimes i cant wait to be surrounded by people
sometimes i look back on my life
