Dracula Episode: August 17th
Episode Synopsis: Mina worries desperately about Lucy who is getting weaker and weaker. Mina finds her sleeping at the open window, and the most recent time, Mina could hardly waken her. Mina fears that the wound Lucy suffered from the safety pin might be related, for it has not healed and is looking larger and more ragged. Samuel F. Billington and Son, local solicitors, write on behalf of their client to Messrs. Carter, Paterson & Co. instructing the specifications of a delivery of fifty boxes of earth to the Carfax Estate. They enclose payment, requesting that the fifty boxes be moved to the ruined chapel on the estate at the earliest possible time.

Dracula Episode: August 11th
Episode Synopsis: Mina awakes in the middle of the night to find Lucy missing, and nowhere in the house. Mina rushes with a heavy shawl to find Lucy in her nightclothes reclining in their favorite seat in the churchyard, a shadowy figure bending over her. By the time Mina gains entrance to the churchyard, Lucy is alone. Mina wraps Lucy in the shawl, and fears that in her haste, she may have pricked Lucy with a safety pin, for she sees Lucy’s throat is bleeding. Mina awakens Lucy and the women walk home together. Lucy swears Mina to secrecy about the events of the evening, fearing the effect it might have on her ailing mother. Mina worries about the wound that she inflicted upon Lucy, who seems more vibrant than she had done of late. Lucy is unconcerned. They and Lucy’s mother spend a pleasant day together, picnicking and enjoying some music on the terrace. As Mina makes her daily preparations for Lucy’s sleepwalking, she expects it to be a peaceful night.

Dracula Episode: August 9th
Episode Synopsis: A reporter from the Daily Telegraph continues to report on the strange goings on with the derelict Russian Schooner. The Dog which took flight from the ship is still at large, and is suspected to have killed and mutilated a large mastiff from the local village. The log of the derelict, the Demeter, has been translated with help from the Russian Consul. The Captain’s log describes a terrible doom that has settled over the ship. The men are scared of something, but will not say what. The first mate has become increasingly frustrated with the men, and has lashed out at them. Over time, men have been disappearing from the boat, and despite their best efforts, more continue to go. Ultimately, on the cusp of reaching England, the first mate declares that there is a terrible danger and throws himself to the sea to save his soul. The Captain, stuck at the helm as the one remaining crewman, has resolved to lash himself to the wheel with religious artifacts to confound the creature that stalks the decks. The captain is regarded as a hero, and is set to have a public burial tomorrow. Follow us on Twitter.com/CryptiCanticles, Facebook.com/DraculaRadioPlay, and at crypticcanticles.com
