This 35-minute podcast offers perspectives on the legacy of Dracula in literature and popular culture, 100 years after the death of Bram Stoker. The speakers are a varied group of scholars, writers, and vampire experts, including Stoker’s great-grandnephew Dacre Stoker.
This collection of poster images shows how Dracula has been reimagined in the 20th century, on both the stage and in film adaptations of the novel. The caption for each poster offers a brief description of its source.
In this brief podcast interview, Bram Stoker’s great-grandnephew, Dacre Stoker, speaks about his discovery of the author’s long-lost journal (published in 2013 as The Lost Journal of Bram Stoker).

This brief article contextualizes Stoker’s Dracula with regard to historical belief in vampires, and charts the development of vampire fiction from the Romantic period to present day. It also traces the evolution of scholarship on vampires, and on Dracula specifically. Finally, the article suggests possible reasons for Dracula’s enduring power, including its narrative structure and its psychological perceptiveness.
