With the inquisitive heart of an adventurer and the rigor of a scholar, this spellbinding work leads readers through centuries of dark folklore, lost legends, and the wild inspirations behind Bram Stoker's immortal classic.

Volcanic cataclysms, secret aristocratic scandals, mysterious societies, and ominous landscapes all converge to cast their spell. Historian Steven J. Rolfes skillfully untangles a web of real events, eccentric creators, and uncanny myths that shaped and informed Stoker's Dracula.

Rolfes's writing is lively, immersive, and unfailingly engaging, inviting readers to make sense of what is fact, what is fable, and how the two entwine to birth the world's ultimate vampire. For those compelled by the timeless mystery of the undead, this book is both an exploration and an adventure, reviving forgotten tales and reimagining the legendary Count for a new generation.
