Description
This is a comprehensive sourcebook on the world’s most famous vampire, with over 700 citations of domestic and international "Dracula" films, television programs, documentaries, adult features, animated works, and video games, as well as nearly a thousand comic books and stage adaptations. While they vary in length, significance, quality, genre, moral character, country, and format, each of the cited works adopts some form of Bram Stoker’s original creation, and Dracula himself, or a recognizable vampiric semblance of Dracula, appears in each.

The book includes contributions by David J. Skal, J. Gordon Melton and Robert Eighteen-Bisang.
