Progress on Dracula, Part 2

Gotten a little further in now, and I'm really digging it. It's very Lovecraftian (or, should I say, that Lovecraft is reminiscent of Dracula?) in a "rational thought cannot explain these phenomena and the more you think about it, the more you realize that reality is not quite what you thought it was" kind of way.
Got to the scene where Dracula climbs up and down the castle walls. That actually sent a shiver down my spine. It's really evocative prose.
Also, holy shit! That scene with Dracula's "brides" (as I've heard them called - that term hasn't come up yet) was horrific. And did Stoker really just imply that they ate a child?
