Dracula

The most popular novel by Bram Stoker can be viewed in different ways. One thing is undeniable: no book about vampires, written before or after "Dracula", can compare to it in terms of influence on literature, art, and popular culture... of the 20th century. It is enough to mention that since the first film adaptation in 1920, there has not been a single decade without at least one film dedicated to the immortal count, his brides, and his main adversary, Professor Van Helsing. Add to this theatrical productions, animation, comics, board and video games, as well as a huge number of literary sequels and interpretations, and you will understand that Stoker created not just a character, but a new mythology. Amazingly captivating, like any true myth.
