“Only when faced with such horror can a person grasp its true essence.” — Bram Stoker, “Dracula”

The myth of the vampire is as old as civilization itself: generation after generation, people pass on stories about terrifying yet alluring creatures that drink the blood of their victims. Years go by, but each of us sooner or later encounters the greatest vampire of all time and peoples: the mystical, terrifying, alluring and elusive Count Dracula.

The hypnotic gaze of Bela Lugosi, the chilling smile of Gary Oldman, or the red lining of Christopher Lee's cloak — each time we await with trepidation how the battle between light and darkness, cruelty and mercy, Dracula and Van Helsing will end.
Robin Negr — a writer, publicist, and simply a great admirer of the master of vampires — will tell what secrets lie behind the image of the monster wearing the mask of a gothic aristocrat.

- Is Transylvania the true homeland of Dracula (and does the vampire have any connection to the Wallachian lord Vlad the Impaler)?
- Why did the court order the destruction of all footage of the 1922 film “Nosferatu: A Symphony of Horror”?
- How did the story of Dracula's popularity unfold, and why are we still interested in vampires?
- Why can Bram Stoker’s book confidently be called the most terrifying novel of the 19th century?
- And, finally, why do we continue to be drawn to the relationship between vampire and human, like those described in “Twilight” (and how did one Transylvanian count influence this)?

Dracula is not just a cruel vampire, he embodies a mystery that is both alluring and frightening. “Dracula: The Biography of the Most Famous Vampire” will allow you to touch this enigma and, who knows, maybe even unravel it. The colored cut, gothic black-and-white illustrations, and convenient format will make this journey even more exciting.
