Summary

This essay resulted from an article written by the author, for a website in the United States. It tells of how four of the greatest British authors of the Gothic period, at one time or another, came to visit or stay in the ancient seaport of Whitby, on England's rugged North Yorkshire Coast. Charles Dickens, Wilkie Collins, Lewis Carroll, and Bram Stoker all came to Whitby and its surrounding area during the 19th century, and received direct, or in some cases and as the author proposes, indirect inspiration for the wonderful works they wrote. You will hear in this audiobook, about where they stayed or dined within the town, as well as what elements of its folklore and scenery became part of their fascinating literary works. It also mentions who they met or chose to be with them, as they roamed this lovely old town's piers, cobbled streets, and narrow yards.

Whitby history and ghosts

If you're planning a trip to Whitby this is a very unusual way to view the town. Short and sweet it's must if you are into history with some ghosts thrown in.

A Must for Dracula Fans, Ghosts and Whitby!

Would you consider the audio edition of When Dracula Met the Jabberwocky to be better than the print version?

The narrator brought this book to life. Easy to understand and a great pace (not too slow). Just the right amount of drama to keep me engaged throughout.

Who was your favorite character and why?

I am a fan of Bram Stoker and Whitby, but I also learned unusual facts about him and three other authors. Lewis Carroll, Wilkie Collins and Charles Dickens. I especially enjoyed Phantasmagoria recited within the book.

Have you listened to any of Petrina Kingham’s other performances? How does this one compare?

Her collaboration with the Author works well for them both. Her voice suits these books.

Did you have an emotional reaction to this book? Did it make you laugh or cry?

It made me want to visit Whitby again with a copy of the audio book and have another look round. Any excuse to go to Trenchers again for their fantastic fish and chips.

Any additional comments?

I would recommend this book to anyone remotely interested in Whitby, the supernatural or who might want to amaze a lecturer with inside knowledge of the authors!
