Dracula, by Bram Stoker. Early films of the story took the events told in the letters and made it into a regular film. That process would miss a lot of TIHYLTTW

However, there are techniques that could work well. I imagine lots of voice-over montages.

Thanks!

TIHYLTTW

Wait, what is this? Google says it's a story, but are you using this phrase in a different context?

This Is How You Lose The Time War in the format of LOTR or THGTTH.

I am dumb. TIHYLTTW is the novella you were originally referring to. Thanks!
