Hi Julia, it's not about Dracula but the Golem, from an old legend of Prag, capital of Bohemia and center of alchemy during a few centuries. I can recommand you the book "The Golem" of Gustav Meyrink. Magic and mysteries. Absololutely great. As he was in Paris I met him some days before and we talked about the Golem. Gary Lucas's parents are from Prag if I remember well.  |

Oh your mother is a Gustav Meyring fan ! Excellent !
I'm too. I read several his books, they are just full of magic. as Jeff is. On my myspace page I have him as a friend, a wonderful sentence from "the Green face" has been written down on my Dream Sister page. Jeff's favourite colour. I'm sure Jeff had loved these stories.
Regarding Dracula I will check it.
Regarding Prag, yes you have to do it. You will never forget this city. I was there several times, one before the fall of the wall between west and east germany and 2/3 times after. everything is preserved, the magic is still there even if Prag is now beautiful and filled with tourists and fashion shops, if you are sensitive you can still feel the magic there.

Don't apologize about the word "fan", I recently received the confirmation from a friend specialized in looking the origins of every word and he told me that being a "fan" means being "inspired". So I'm totally "inspired" of/by Jeff and feel not ashame of it.
Saw your PM. See you
