Your reputation precedes you

Thought it was a good idea to read Dracula, the play version, before bed. I couldn't help but love the final monologue:

VAN HELSING [To Audience]

...A word of reassurance: When you go home tonight

and the lights have been turned out

and you are afraid to look behind the curtains

and you dread to see a face appear at the window...

why, just pull yourself together

and remember after all

 there are such things.
