What is Dracula About?

At its core, “Dracula” is the tale of Count Dracula, a centuries-old vampire from Transylvania, and the group of individuals determined to stop his reign of terror. The story begins with Jonathan Harker’s harrowing visit to Dracula’s remote castle, unfolds through diary entries and letters, and culminates in a high-stakes pursuit to rid the world of this vampiric menace.

Bram Stoker delves into themes of fear, forbidden desires, and societal boundaries. This masterful blend of gothic atmosphere and psychological tension introduced a new kind of terror into popular culture. If you’ve ever wondered why the vampire mythos remains so popular—or how it began—Bram Stoker’s Dracula novel is the definitive origin story.

The Origins of Dracula

  • Who Made Dracula?

    Although Count Dracula is the fictional creation, it’s often asked “who made Dracula?” The short answer is Irish author Bram Stoker (1847–1912). While vampire folklore existed before, Stoker’s portrayal in Dracula (published in 1897) solidified the vampire archetype that we recognize today.

  • When Was Dracula First Introduced to the World?

    Dracula made his first appearance in this novel in 1897. It was an immediate sensation for its innovative structure—told through diary entries, letters, and newspaper clippings—and for its exploration of Victorian anxieties about science, sexuality, and the occult.

  • Dracula's Relation to Nosferatu

    Nosferatu, the influential 1922 silent film by F.W. Murnau, was an unauthorized adaptation of Bram Stoker’s “Dracula”—with altered character names to avoid copyright issues. Its haunting imagery shaped vampire lore on screen. In 2024, director Robert Eggers and actor Bill Skarsgård resurrected Nosferatu, honoring both the original film and Stoker’s enduring legacy.

Fascinating Facts About Dracula

  • Inspiration Sources

    Some scholars argue that Vlad the Impaler, a 15th-century Wallachian ruler, partially inspired Count Dracula, though Stoker combined multiple folktales and historical details to craft his vampire.

  • Early Titles

    Stoker originally considered names like “Count Wampyr” before settling on the more ominous “Dracula.” Stoker noted that the name Dracula means “devil” in the Wallachian language, which is likely the reason for the name change.

  • Modern Adaptations

    Beyond the countless films and TV shows, the Nosferatu storyline remains one of the most influential spinoffs of the original tale—most recently revisited in the 2024 adaptation by Robert Eggers, featuring Bill Skarsgård in the haunting titular role.

  • Global Impact

    The novel’s popularity helped spur an entire vampire subgenre, influencing everything from classic Hollywood horror to contemporary fantasy sagas.
