Everything seemed... cobbled together. Like... it's trying to show Jonathan Harker's story and tell more of Dracula's history, but making Jonathan a child was weird. And Dracula with cat/wolf ears... why? I imagine the confusion that the reader is in, trying to make sense of it all, is what they're trying to convey how Jonathan feels and is experiencing. I think it doesn't quite match the confusion of horror, but more of "why did they do that" sort of curiosity of the absurd.

There is a very uncomfortable moment... most uncomfortable because it's happening to a child. Had Jonathan been an adult like in the original story it wouldn't be so bad.
