World Dracula Day!
Hey everyone!
Some of you know my favorite all-time book is 'Dracula' by Bram Stoker. The first book about vampires and the undead that led to many many more different types of vampire-ish plots and characters.
Today, 127 years ago, in 1897, that book was first published!
So, to celebrate all things Dracula, and Vampire, we have a spooktacular post!
Some facts:-
- A signed, first-edition copy of the book sold for over $33,000 at auction!
- There is a sequel! Yes! written by Bram Stoker's great-grand-nephew! Dracula the Un-Dead" by Dacre Stoker and Ian Holt (2009)
- Vampire bats do exist, and survive on drinking blood!
World Dracula Day not only honors Bram Stoker's groundbreaking work but also celebrates the broader cultural phenomenon of vampire lore. Whether you're a literary enthusiast, a horror fan, or just curious about the origins of one of the most iconic figures in fiction, World Dracula Day offers something intriguing for everyone
