| | The Modern Library Dracula by Bram Stoker |
 | | A popular bestseller in Victorian England, Stoker's hypnotic tale of the bloodthirsty Count Dracula, whose nocturnal atrocities are symbolic of an evil ages old yet forever new, endures as the quintessential story of suspense and horror. | | | The unbridled lusts and desires, the diabolical cravings that Stoker dramatized with such mythical force, render Dracula resonant and unsettling a century later. | | | Although he claimed that the idea for his classic tale of Count Dracula came to him in a nightmare, Stoker was doubtless influenced in part by Arminius Vambery, the celebrated Hungarian adventurer and folklore expert who introduced him to the vampire legends of Eastern Europe. |

| | In 1882, Stoker published his first book, Under the Sunset and his first full-length novel, The Snake's Pass followed in 1890. | | | While Stoker's book has been made in to countless movies, including Francis Ford Coppola's Bram Stoker's Dracula (1992), few capture the original sinister nature of Stoker's novel. | | | He left his civil service job, married Florence Balcombe (Stoker competed with Oscar Wilde for Florence's hand), and moved to London. |

| | “Carmilla”: Bram Stoker’s Inspiration for Dracula |
| | Stoker’s earliest manuscript for the novel is dated 8 March, 1890, and an unnamed count is shown to have a castle in Styria (Bierman, 52); six days later, Stoker has substituted Transylvania for Styria in his working notes (Bierman, 53). | | | By a similarity in the setting, characters and plot, in Bram Stoker’s Gothic work Dracula and the posthumously published short story “Dracula’s Guest,” Stoker is shown to have used Joseph Sheridan Le Fanu’s classic, Gothic, short story, “Carmilla”, as the basis and inspiration for Bram Stoker’s vampiric masterpiece, Dracula. | | | She is hunted to her bier of earth where she is officiously and competently staked, beheaded, and incinerated. |

| | Bram Stoker's Dracula |
| | Although not the first vampire tale, Stoker's Dracula became the archetype for all those that have followed. | | | It may be that the pragmatic British character is ill prepared to deal with creatures of dark magic--a variation on the old it-takes-one-to-know-one theory. | | | With all of this shape-changing, it's really no wonder that Dracula is a story that fascinates, even a century later. |

| | The Literary Gothic Bram Stoker |
| | Another one of Stoker's sexually fraught tales - and another (like "The Judge's House" and Dracula) prominently featuring rats - this one features a hero on the verge of marriage (as was Stoker at the time he was writing this tale), a Parisian dump, and Olympic-caliber athleticism. | | | Everything you ever wanted to know, and then some, about Vlad Tepes, the inspiration (sort of) for Stoker's Count--whom, according to Elizabeth Miller, Stoker first named "Count Wampyr" in an early draft, changing the name to Dracula when he saw a brief mention of Dracula in a book he'd consulted for research purposes. | | | This one also has the distinction of having two endings; the original 1903 version seems to kill off the main characters; the 1919 edition of the novel has them survive. |

| | The book is his most autobiographical novel, and he projected himself into all of its major characters. | | | Ellen Terry, his longtime partner in drama, was equally acclaimed, but Irving dominated her too.) Few today would recognize Irving's name, but virtually every schoolboy knows (as we used to say when we could be reasonably sure that any schoolboy knew anything) that Bram Stoker is the author of Dracula. | | | Stoker's life is the story of the creation of DraculaÑwhich is lucky for Belford, for otherwise his story would be as dull as accountancy. |

| | The audience is actually shown why Dracula is a tortured undead creature, and the plot element of his anguish and loneliness (caused by his lost love) bestows on the character a more human quality. | | | The novel has been adapted to different times in history, with certain poetic licenses taken, in many cases, to place the story in less traditional plot situations. | | | In all, I would characterize this film as first, a romance and only second, a horror flick. |
