 Bloom also noted that the popular descriptions of the exotic "Oriental" Ashkenazi Jewish prostitutes from Eastern Europe, whose "voluptuousness" and dark looks made them popular with johns on the East End, matched the descriptions of the Count's female followers in both "Makt myrkranna" and "Dracula".Bloom further argued that the description of the eroticism of Lucy after she is turned into a vampire by Dracula in both "Dracula" and even more so in "Makt Myrkranna" closely resembled the descriptions of the eroticism of the stereotype of the exotic "Oriental" Jewish prostitute found in contemporary Victorian accounts.Still unaware of the "Swedish connection" at the time he wrote his book contribution, Bloom argued that the way in which "Makt Myrkranna" echoed British fears and fascination with the "frontier" of the East End supports the "early draft" theory.
