Detailed explanation-1: -Dracula, Gothic novel by Bram Stoker, published in 1897, that was the most popular literary work derived from vampire legends and became the basis for an entire genre of literature and film.
Detailed explanation-2: -According to the London Library’s Philip Spedding, Emily Gerard was one of Stoker’s main two sources. In fact, the Irish author’s main reference book “The Land Beyond the Forest” was one he actually owned rather than having to borrow from the library.
Detailed explanation-3: -Dracula, prince of darkness, lord of the undead! This mythical character leaped onto the page from the fevered imagination of Irish writer Bram Stoker in 1897. But the historical figure who shares a name with the literary icon was no less fearsome.
