Re: OOC thread
Yep, Dracula is epistolary. One of the reasons it became a favorite of mine when I first read it. The various letters and journals from each of the persons involved created very real characters in my mind.
Another set of books that I like is the Anno Dracula series by Kim Newman, it's set in an alternate universe where Dracula survives and spreads his curse throughout Victorian England. It contains characters from other well-known novels of the time period or vampires such as Sherlock Holmes, Count Orlok, Dr. Jekyll, etc. So basically it's the world of darkness as a book without actually being the world of darkness.
Movie wise the only thing I can think of that you probably haven't already heard of would be Byzantium. Very creepy yet nice atmosphere to the movie but the story does lack at points. Still all in all I though it was pretty good.
