Dracula is an 1897 epistolary novel by Irish author Bram Stoker, featuring as its primary antagonist the vampire Count Dracula. It was first published as a hardcover in 1897 by Archibald Constable and Co.

Although Stoker did not invent the vampire, the novel's influence on the popularity of vampires has been singularly responsible for many theatrical, film and television interpretations since its publication.

Resurrecting a Dream: Dracula Legacy Needs You 

Dear friends and keepers of the gothic flame, For years, I’ve dreamed of creating something extraordinary—a tribute to Dracula that truly honors Bram Stoker’s masterpiece. This vision has haunted me, compelling me to dive deep into the darkness, to meticulously craft an experience that goes beyond a book and transforms into a journey. On Tuesday, January 14, I am thrilled to launch "Dracula Legacy" on Kickstarter. This is the culmination of years of passion and dedication—a project designed for those who, like me, are captivated by the allure of gothic horror. This is your chance to own one of only 666 handcrafted editions of "The Book of Dracula" or "The Book of Nosferatu". These editions feature Bram Stoker’s full novel in English or Spanish, enhanced with augmented reality content that breathes new life into the story. But there’s more: - Black Bleeding Black Candles that exude the scent of forgotten tomes. - Shadowplay and Lithophanes, projecting haunting visuals into your space. - Handcrafted Relics, including a vampire’s skull and rat, to enrich your collection. By joining this journey, you’ll also gain access to Dracula’s Secret Society—an elite circle for only 666 individuals. Together, we’ll explore exclusive courses, engage in live reading clubs, and uncover hidden knowledge from the gothic canon. This isn’t just a campaign; it’s a resurrection. A chance to bring the Count’s legacy into our world in a way it’s never been experienced before. I can’t do this without you. I need your support, your voice, and your love for the shadows. Please mark your calendar, share this with your fellow night dwellers, and join me in making history. Together, we’ll keep the legend alive. Eternally yours, Enrique A. Palafox PhD.

What's your favourite movie adaption of the original Bram Stoker's Dracula novel?

It must be an adaption of the book itself, so while it can change things, it still must be even a little recognizable to those who read the book, instead of an original movie with the book characters. So what movie is your favourite adaption of the original Dracula book?

For me, it is Hammer's Dracula who is one of the more inaccurate adaptions of the book, I still love the movie. Also, it is one of the inspirations for the existence of Castlevania so I am thankful for that.

What's your favourite actor to play Dracula?

No voice actors, only the live-action actors that played Dracula are allowed so which actor did you think had your favourite Dracula?

If I wasn't clear, I am talking about how the actor played/portrayed Dracula rather than which actor that has portrayed Dracula before is your favourite.

For example, mine would be Christopher Lee's Dracula.

Do not expect any response. Only 666 will be chosen.

Step into the darkness, if you dare. The rest can stay in the herd, pretending they understand.

You are not ready.

Fate of the Demeter crew

Hi, I was wondering what happened to the>!Demeter crew. Since Van Helsing states that the children Lucy bites will become vampires after death, I was wondering whether the crew from the Demeter would be vampires floating in the ocean now. They were most likely bitten, and then definitely died!< What are your thoughts?
