There’s something in that wind and in the hoast beyont that sounds, and looks, and tastes, and smells like death. It’s in the air; I feel it comin’. Lord, make me answer cheerful when my call comes!
– Bram Stoker
Dracula, Chapter 6. Mr. Swales, the old man who befriends Lucy and Mina at Whitby, where Count Dracula’s ship lands, appears to sense the horrors that are about to come. But he is not believed.
