Original Dracula Novel

Posted in Uncategorized on January 10th, 2009 by dacre

This book has been around for ages. Since 1897, it has been translated and printed in many countries. Because it has been in the public domain (Bram’s wife lost the copyrights after a lengthy legal battle) Dracula has spun off all sorts of stories, movies, toys, etc. So many of us have gotten to know Dracula through a wide variety of media and entertainment outlets.

A lot of people whom I have met during my research and writing of “Dracula The Un-Dead” are familiar with the many different versions and spin offs of Dracula, but not the actual characters from Bram’s original novel.

So I was just wondering how many of you have actually read the original version?

This is not a trick question, I am genuinely interested in knowing the answer, so please post a response. Have you read the original version?

Eartha Kitt passed away on December 26th after a two-year long struggle with colon cancer.  The singer/actress/dancer was 81 and still performing.  She can be remembered for her hit recording “Santa Baby,” which went gold just before her passing, and for her portrayal of Catwoman in the original Batman television series.  Our thoughts and prayers go out to her family, friends, and fans.
