What kind of book is “Dracula/Harker: A Gay Gothic Romance”?

Dracula/Harker is—

• Queer: Featuring the same-sex amorous pairings of Vladislaus, Count Dracula, and Jonathan Harker, as well as Ilse, Countess Dolingen, and Lucy Westenra, Dracula/Harker weaves a rich tapestry of both gay and sapphic Gothic romance. And as the plot unfolds, even more queer characters step out of the shadows to play their parts.
• Gothic: Dracula/Harker is replete with Gothic tropes:
  • castles, crypts, monasteries, abbeys, churches, and graveyards
  • a fated and fateful bond between a distressed, endangered beloved and a seductive, dangerous lover
  • forbidden desire vs. hypocritical respectability
  • longing, love, and loss
  • reticence, denial, and despair
  • obsession, jealousy, and vengeance
  • isolation, uncertainty, secrets, suspicion, suspense, and fear
  • reason vs. the irrational
  • altered states of mind: sleepwalking, fevered dreams, and shared consciousness
  • the uncanny, the transgressive, and the monsters within and without
  • living death, deathly life, and the liminal undead
  • the sacred in the sinful
  • impending doom and destruction
  • defiance in the face of ruinous fate
  • damnation vs. liberation
  • drama, drama, and more drama!
• Romantic: Dracula/Harker is both romantic and Romantic. In the former case, it abounds with turbulent emotional attachment and involvement. In the latter case, it prioritizes passion over reason and prudence, depicts rebelling against fate in the cause of desire, and portrays love as a transcendent force that can shatter the boundaries between the sacred and the sinful and life and death, liberating one’s soul even at the cost of their mortal life and eternal damnation.
• Unapologetic: Though my Dracula/Harker would not exist without E. M. Forster’s Maurice, my Count and Jonathan, in striving for their “happily ever after,” will not be nearly as closeted as Forster’s Maurice Hall and Alec Scudder were portrayed. In building upon the Edwardian Modernist’s radical intent that “two men should [be shown] fall[ing] in love and remain[ing] in it for the ever and ever that fiction allows,” I must do more to advance the legacy. So, in finally coming into themselves through their newfound love for each other, Dracula and Harker will no longer hide from and apologize for who they truly are and who they truly love.
