 But the Dutch author also was the first to question whether "Makt myrkranna" (and thus the Swedish variants from which it turned out to be derived) actually was authored by Stoker.In this 2014 text and in his introduction to the annotated translation, he extensively discussed the chance that Ásmunddson had radically modified "Dracula", possibly even without Stoker's consent.But as the Icelandic preface showed traces of a translation from another language, these essays finally supported the idea that at least the preface had been supplied by Stoker, while Ásmundsson may have had a hand in modifying and shortening the narrative.
