Earth of the Homeland

Description

There, in one of the great boxes, of which there were fifty in all, on a pile of newly dug earth, lay the Count! He was either dead or asleep, I could not say which—for the eyes were open and stony, but without the glassiness of death—and the cheeks had the warmth of life through all their pallor; the lips were as red as ever. But there was no sign of movement, no pulse, no breath, no beating of the heart.
 
Bram Stoker, Dracula

Book Context
His curiosity overcoming his good sense, real estate broker Jonathan Harker sneaks into the catacombs of Castle Dracula, where he finds many boxes filled with dirt from a long abandoned graveyard; in one of these boxes he discovers the Count, laying asleep dead but also somehow alive.

Notes on Scent
To evoke the smell of freshly turned earth, piled into wooden boxes, deep in a castle's catacombs, I combined: fossilized amber, which has a unique, musky scent; and pinyon pine, which has a sweet, robust woody smell.

Notes on Texture
The base of this slime is a thick coated snowfizz, with chunks of black gravel throughout to give you the feel of playing with unearthly, crackly dirt.

**This slime has been discounted due to mild to medium color transfer to the hands when played with.  I wouldn't classify this as a stain, as it washes away quickly and easily.

Notes on Book Charm Cover
The book charm has the 1897 book cover; the original Dracula story was serialized in the newspaper.
