Dracula in Visual Media cover

This is a comprehensive sourcebook on the world's most famous vampire, with more than 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 from Dacre Stoker, David J. Skal, Laura Helen Marks, Dodd Alley, Mitch Frye, Ian Holt, Robert Eighteen-Bisang, and J. Gordon Melton.

“Extremely useful”—Booklist; “The information here is amazing”—Van Helsing’s Journal; “Superb book...a magnificent piece of scholarship!"—Elizabeth Miller, editor of Bram Stoker’s Notes for Dracula and Bram Stoker’s Dracula: A Documentary Volume (Dictionary of Literary Biography); “Dracula in Visual Media is a monumental achievement. This exhaustive compilation of Dracula-related works in film, video games, comics, and other media will be indispensable for all Dracula scholars and devoted fans of the Count.”—Margaret L. Carter, editor of Dracula: The Vampire and the Critics, and author of The Vampire in Literature: A Critical Bibliography and Different Blood: The Vampire as Alien; “This in-depth, nicely illustrated catalogue of all known visual Draculinian works is an interesting read that will have you nostalgically digging out your Hammer box sets and Tomb of Dracula comics collection.”—James Burrell, Rue Morgue magazine.
