Bram Stoker's initial notes and outlines for his landmark horror novel Dracula were auctioned at Sotheby's in London in 1913 and eventually made their way to the Rosenbach Museum and Library in Philadelphia, where they are housed today.

It also includes Stoker's typewritten research notes and thoroughly analyses all of the materials, which range from Stoker's thoughts on the novel's characters and settings to a...

A dark castle, blood-thirsty vampires, flying bats, howling wolves, spiders, open graves at midnight, and other gothic touches fill this chilling tale about a young Englishman's confrontation with the evil Count Dracula. A horror romance as deathless as any vampire, the blood-curdling tale still continues to hold readers spellbound a century later and inspired Francis Ford Coppola to adapt into a major motion picture in 1992.

This is the first postcolonial edition of Bram Stoker's gothic classic. For scholars interested in decolonization in literary studies this is a prime example. Jonathan Harker's colonial adventure and Bram Stoker's imperialist discourse are restored to their original context of British economic and political involvement in East-Central Europe. This edition relies both on British and Romanian sources and exposes the cultural appropriation and distortion of Romanian history and folklore. Among the many threads the editors have followed is the very significant one related to the superimposition...
