“Dracula” by Bram Stoker tells the story of a Transylvanian vampire. It was published on this day in 1897 and was an instant success. Frankly, I learned of “Dracula” by watching the movies. My guess is that most of you had the same experience.
A few years ago, Dr Ileana Johnson wrote a great account of Dracula. She went to the castle in her native Romania and wrote a great summary of the famous character.
