To research his immortal tale, Stoker immersed himself in the history, lore and legends of Transylvania, which he called a âwhirlpool for the imagination.â. Bram Stokerâs Dracula novel was published in Romanian for the first time in 1990.
The first known writer of this idea to be really well known by English speakers was Bram Stoker, with his novel DRACULA, loosely based on the life of Vlad the impaler. But there was another not as well known story, called 'Barney the Vampire' corney but true, which was written before Dracula.
