What Dracula is About

Dracula is about addiction, and Dracula is a drug dealer-
The thirst for blood is heroin addiction and Dracula's wives
because of their addiction
sell their bodies
and are now prostitutes
and Dracula gets new wives
by introducing heroin into their veins-
We now call that human trafficking-
In the 19th century in Victorian England,
this was how poor women in England made their money-
Hence the popularity of the book Dracula-
Freud would have agreed-
All those fluids blending together,
mouth and tongue kissing flesh.
