Get ready to sink your teeth into a tantalizing tale of terror and transformation as we journey through the cobwebbed corridors of Bram Stoker’s Dracula. Unearth the cryptic connection between the infamous Count and the real-life impaler, Vlad III, and brace yourself for a few spine-tingling surprises along the way. From the eerie transformations to the haunting abbeys, we explore every nook and cranny of the novel that put vampires on the map.

This is more than just a dissection of a classic piece of literature; it's a deep dive into the cultural fabric that has crafted our perception of the undead. Not only do we dissect the character of Dracula, but we also take a closer look at how vampirism and sexuality intertwine in Stoker's narrative. Amidst the shadows, we investigate the rumors surrounding Stoker himself, unearthing the whispers about his sexuality and the legal battles that ensued after his death. Plus, we share our top Dracula film picks and discuss why the Count continues to hold a compelling presence in today's pop culture.
