Whitby England

Second Life: Cloud Lake region, at Whitby, Birth of Dracula

 

Hera (zee9) has created a gothic masterpiece based on Whitby, England, as imagined in Francis Ford Coppola's Bram Stoker's Dracula (1992) film. From the Whitby port entry, up the flagstone paths, and up to the mansion, grottos, and the historic abbey, one is transported back to the late 1800's to the night Count Dracula came to the shores of northeastern England.

 

From region description: Whitby is a real seaside town and port, in the northeast of England. It was here in 1890 that Bram Stoker was inspired to write his novel Dracula.... This build by Hera (zee9) is based far more on the FF Coppola Movie than the book and is nothing much at all like reality. It also has a very strong Lovecraftian feel and is sort of English Innsmouth.

"My friend.--Welcome to the Carpathians. I am anxiously expecting you. Sleep well tonight. At three tomorrow the diligence will start for Bukovina; a place on it is kept for you. At the Borgo Pass my carriage will await you and will bring you to me. I trust that your journey from London has been a happy one, and that you will enjoy your stay in my beautiful land.--Your friend, Dracula."
