Dracula, The Castle
A courteous host, doors that are never locked and never open, and a guest who begins to count the days.
Retold for sleep from Dracula by Bram Stoker, first published in 1897 and long out of copyright. The story is Stoker's; every sentence here is our own.

Soft-spoken and slow, a bedtime-story hush, plain, warm, and easy to come back to.
