Because Dracula came up behind him when he cut himself and reached for him, and then Dracula touched the crucifix and went back to normal, and Harker is too stupid to think anything of it. Woah-lots of "and"-must've scared me.

I would say you (among others) were proof that it isn't, but I don't want you to get a big fat head.

I don't scream very often at all, I am finding it hilarious that you screamed at a book!

If you say so!
I think the last time was when I thought a spider was running straight at me, but it turned out to be a leaf.
Yeah, that's not making me look any saner than Scats, is it.

I can honestly never say I've had an emotional reaction as intense as that whilst reading. I've probably audibly gasped though.

Robyn: AAAAAHHHHHHH!
Robyn's Mummy: Robyn? What's the matter?!
Robyn: The ink made me jump!

It was only a little scream-not that that helps...

I'm now reading A Midsummer Night's Dream by William 'Not as good as that Potter woman' Shakespeare.
Actually I'm reading the introduction which is longer than the play. It's making me drowsy.
I'm rereading Catch 22 by Joseph Heller. Funniest book ever, although it is more an anti-military novel than anti-war novel.
I like Something Happened by the same author, not least because nothing actually happens until the end. I agree about lightweight fluff, though, I'm much happier reading a Stephen King.

One of my favourites of his plays! Saw it in an open air theatre a year or so ago, and it was so magical.
