  A POWERFUL FULL CAST DRAMATIC MARATHON  
   
  “There is a reason why all things are as they are.” 
   
  Dracula author Bram Stoker was born on November 8, 1847 in Dublin. Stoker was bedridden with an unknown illness until he started school at the age of seven when he made a complete recovery. Of this time, Stoker wrote, "I was naturally thoughtful, and the leisure of long illness gave opportunity for many thoughts which were fruitful according to their kind in later years." He was educated in a private school run by the Reverend William Woods. 
   
  Stoker visited the English coastal town of Whitby in 1890, and that visit was said to be part of the inspiration for Dracula. He began writing novels while working as the manager for London's Lyceum Theatre, beginning with The Snake's Pass in 1890 and Dracula in 1897. Stoker was part of the literary staff of The Daily Telegraph in London, and he wrote other fiction, including the horror novels The Lady of the Shroud (1909) and The Lair of the White Worm (1911). 
   
  Dracula is an epistolary novel, written as a collection of realistic but completely fictional diary entries, telegrams, letters, ship's logs, and newspaper clippings, all of which added a level of detailed realism to the story, a skill which Stoker had developed as a newspaper writer. At the time of its publication, Dracula was considered a "straightforward horror novel" based on imaginary creations of supernatural life. "It gave form to a universal fantasy and became a part of popular culture.

  Sergeant Major Whitmore thought the nightmare was over. Three years following the incident on the island of South Fire, he enjoys the peaceful life of a retired man. But the past has a way of catching up to a man. When a mysterious and powerful figure reveals himself, Whitmore finds himself staring death in the eye once again. Caught in a web of lies and deceit, he is brought to an old naval research station in the eastern Pacific. There, he is forced to face his greatest adversary for the second time.Its razor-sharp claws can sever limbs with minimal effort. Its mandibles can separate flesh from bone like tissue paper. The lance-shaped stinger on the end of its tail can penetrate two inches of steel. For its victims, death is a mercy. To those who created it, it is considered a scientific miracle. To everyone else, it is an unspeakable horror. To Whitmore, it is a Specimen of pure evil.Replicated from the DNA of the creature on South Fire, it lives again. Sharing the intelligence and ruthlessness as its genetic forebear, it has outwitted the technology of Modern Man. Now it seeks to multiply its numbers by infecting any organism it comes across—terrestrial and marine. Only Whitmore and an unlikely band of allies stand in its way.

  "The Silver Key" is a fantasy short story by American writer H. P. Lovecraft. Written in 1926, it is considered part of his Dreamlands series. It was first published in the January 1929 issue of Weird Tales. It is a continuation of "The Dream-Quest of Unknown Kadath", and was followed by a sequel, "Through the Gates of the Silver Key", co-written with E. Hoffmann Price. The story and its sequel both feature Lovecraft's recurring character of Randolph Carter as the protagonist. Randolph Carter discovers, at the age of 30, that he has gradually "lost the key to the gate of dreams." Randolph once believed life is made up of nothing but pictures in memory, whether they be from real life or dreams. He highly prefers his romantic nightly dreams of fantastic places and beings to the "prosiness of life". He believes his dreams to reveal truths missing from man's waking ideas, regarding the purpose of humans and the universe, primary among these being the truth of beauty as perceived and invented by humans in times past. As he ages, though, he finds that his daily waking exposure to the more "practical", scientific ideas of man has eroded his ability to dream as he once did and has made him, regretfully, subscribe more and more to the mundane beliefs of everyday, waking "real life". But, still not certain which is truer, he sets out to determine whether the waking ideas of man are superior to his dreams, and in the process, he passes through several unsatisfying philosophical stances. Discouraged, he eventually withdraws from these lines of inquiry, and goes into seclusion.
