“No garlic, no crucifixes, no wooden stakes.”
April 30th, 2007
A young Stephen Fry relates the chilling story of The Letter:
[…] The letter read as follows:
“If Mr John Lawson-Particle will travel immediately to Transylvania as the honoured guest of Count Dracula, to personally advise His Excellency on a matter of great legal delicacy, Mr Lawson-Particle will be handsomely remunerated.
“He is to bring on his journey: no garlic, no crucifixes, no wooden stakes. Neither is he to look up in a dictionary the word ‘vampire’.”
It seemed innocent enough. […]
Cracking stuff.
