SIZZIX ORIGINAL LARGE DIE ~ COUNT DRACULA ~ #655558

Jonathan Harker, a newly qualified English solicitor, travels to Count Dracula's crumbling, remote castle in Eastern Europe to provide legal support for a real estate transaction. At first seduced by The Count's gracious manner, Harker soon discovers that he has become a prisoner in the castle and begins to see disquieting facets of Dracula's nocturnal life. Frightened but determined, Harker investigates the nature of his confinement and becomes uneasier as he realizes that the count possesses supernatural powers and diabolical ambitions. After a dangerous escape from the castle and a long convalescence, Harker returns to England to find that the Count has been very busy.

The world’s most famous vampire is naturally hard to kill. Over and over, Bram Stoker’s Dracula has been adapted for the screen, with widely varying degrees of accuracy and success. Interpretations have ranged from cadaverous and creepy (Max Schreck in Nosferatu, 1922) to elegant (Lugosi and his imitators) to bizarre (Gary Oldman in Bram Stoker’s Dracula, 1992). But has Stoker’s vampire ever been portrayed as the author intended? Here is the updated edition of Lyndon Joslin’s acclaimed 1999 guide to the films based on Stoker’s novel. Covered in detail for the first time are Drakula Istanbul’da (1953); Dracula (1969); Dracula 2000 (2000); Dracula’s Curse (2002); and Dracula: Pages from a Virgin’s Diary (2003). Also new to this edition is complete cast and credit information for the Dracula series films from Universal and Hammer as well as for the “Shadows of Stoker” films-i.e., those that clearly borrow from Stoker without citing the source. With photographs, bibliography, and index.

The authoritative sequel to Bram Stoker's original horror classic. A quarter of a century after Count Dracula "crumbled into dust, " Quincey Harker-the son of Jonathan and Mina Harker-leaves law school to pursue a career on stage, only to stumble upon the troubled production of Dracula, directed and produced by Bram Stoker himself. As the play plunges Quincey into the world of his parents' terrible secrets, death begins to stalk the original band of heroes that defeated Dracula a quarter-century ago. Could it be that the count survived and is now seeking revenge? Or is there another, far more sinister force at work whose relentless purpose is to destroy anything and anyone associated with Dracula, the most notorious vampire of all time?

Book Description: "The very first appearance of "Count Dracula" is in Bram Stoker's novel DRACULA (1897). But Stoker did not make up the name "Dracula". There was a Dracula in the 15th century: Vlad the Impaler. Stoker didn't know much about him... but he came across his name in a book he was researching entitled AN ACCOUNT OF THE PRINCIPALITIES OF WALLACHIA AND MOLDAVIA (1820). This book has a very short section on a "Voivode Dracula" who fought against the Turks. What attracted Stoker to the name "Dracula" was a footnote by Wilkinson which stated that "Dracula in the Wallachian language means Devil". Not quite accurate, but that is what Stoker saw and copied into his notes. He was originally going to call his vampire "Count Wampyr" but changed it to "Count Dracula." This change is clearly made in Stoker's own notes for DRACULA which are located at the Rosenbach Museum in Philadelphia. The real Dracula (about whom we know much more than Stoker ever did) was NOT a Count, nor was he a vampire (or ever associated with vampires). The two Draculas have become greatly confused in many people's minds."

Bram Stoker's most terrifying creation tells his own story in Incarnadine: The True Memoirs of Count Dracula. Author R. H. Greene vividly reimagines the harrowing and sensual Dracula mythos as a first person memoir written by Dracula himself. In this first of two volumes, the Medieval origins of Dracula and his three brides are chronicled using elements drawn from Slavic and pre-Christian religious traditions. Horror, wonder, violence and romance combine to reinvent one of literature's most fascinating characters for the modern era. Equally a historical adventure and a rumination on mortality and religion, Incarnadine offers a vibrant, picaresque view of the broad social tapestry of Eastern Europe in the late Middle Ages. The novel concludes with the first meeting between Dracula and Stoker protagonist Jonathan Harker, setting the stage for a lively reinvention of Stoker's Victorian classic in Memoirs, Volume Two. http://www.draculamemoirs.blogspot.com
