Dracula is a myth that captivates both the young and old. More than hundred years after the vampire's success as the protagonist of Bram Stoker's classic novel (Dracula, 1887) it is more than overdue to dedicate a comprehensive work to this unconventional hero. The present illustrated book informs Dracula specialists and everyday readers about the myth's historic beginnings, its fi ctional representations in literature, and its fi lm, TV or stage adaptations during the twentieth century. This collection of images is a must have for everyone interested in Dracula and the world of horror - and might prove to today's younger generation that vampires did not begin with the Twilight series.
