Few books have so seized the public imagination as Bram Stoker’s Dracula, even more popular now than when it was first published in 1897. This critical work represents a rereading of the horror classic as a Christian text, one that alchemizes Platonism, Gnosticism, Mariology and Christian resurrection in a tale that explores the grotesque. Of particular interest is the way in which the Dracula narrative emerges from earlier vampire tales, which juxtapose Apollonian and Dionysian impulses. A strong addition to vampire and horror scholarship.

Featuring a foreword by Dacre Stoker, sectional introductions by David J. Skal, Laura Helen Marks, Mitch Frye, and Dodd Alley, an afterword by Ian Holt, and a bibliographical essay by Robert Eighteen-Bisang and J. Gordon Melton, this comprehensive sourcebook on the world’s most famous vampire documents over 700 domestic and international "Dracula" films, television programs, documentaries, adult features, animated works, and video games, as well as nearly a thousand comic books and stage adaptations. While they vary in length, significance, quality, genre, moral character, country, and format, each of the cited works adopts some form of Bram Stoker’s original creation, and Dracula himself, or a recognizable vampiric semblance of Dracula, appears in each.
