Stoker: Evolution of a Vampire

By Calvin Cherry

Discover the dark inspiration behind Dracula in this thrilling Gothic prequel.

Before Dracula became legend, Abraham Stoker lived the nightmare. A Gothic masterpiece where Victorian horror collides with the brutal history of Vlad the Impaler.

Abraham Stoker never imagined his fascination with the macabre would summon true evil to his doorstep. When a mysterious letter commands him to travel from Victorian London to the blood-soaked mountains of Transylvania, Bram finds himself ensnared in a terrifying pact with Count Dracula--the undead Prince who demands his story be told. As Bram witnesses centuries of cruelty, impalement, and dark rituals, the vampire's curse spreads across continents, threatening everyone he loves. His wife Florence falls prey to Dracula's hypnotic seduction, his son Noel becomes a reluctant warrior, and the shadows of the Lyceum Theatre conceal unspeakable horrors. Trapped between his duty as a chronicler and his desperation to save his family, Bram must wield faith, folklore, and the power of his pen against an ancient darkness that refuses to die.

This Dracula prequel is meant to pay homage to a brilliant man, writer, and Romantic masterpiece, mixing fantasy, fact, and Gothic elements to show how literary art is born.
