Following in the Dusty Footsteps of Dracula's Shadow: A Media Archaeological Excavation

The vampire is an enduring figure in literature and Bram Stoker's Dracula (1897), as a particular performance of a vampire, has never been out of print; yet, there is no single, universal definition of a vampire. Each culture, and each author, has added (or deleted) vampire traits and behaviors, modifying Stoker's version of Dracula as a vampire. This book is about a personal perspective on Stoker's vampire and how that perspective has been altered through time, through peripatetic walks and explorations of landscape in England and Scotland that inspired and inspirited Bram Stoker's literary geographical background of Dracula as a particular vampiric character.
