About The Powers of Darkness Podcast
From the publisher's feed
There are thousands of Dracula adaptations… but this one was never meant to be found.
In 2014, a literary scholar unearthed a bizarre discovery: a 1901 Icelandic edition of Dracula that wasn't a translation at all. It was a completely different novel—with new characters, altered plotlines, and darker, more overt political themes. He translated and published it under the title Powers of Darkness.
But just weeks later, another twist: a second scholar revealed that the Icelandic version was based on an even older, more thrilling Swedish manuscript—lost to history for over a century.
Two scholars. Two competing versions. One haunting mystery:
Who really wrote Powers of Darkness—and why?
Join host and documentarian Iris Ichishita as she digs into literary secrets, forgeries, and forgotten histories in this gripping limited series.
