Written by Bram Stoker at the end of the 19th century, Dracula tells of an ancient vampire lord who leaves his homeland behind to terrorize the population of Victorian Britain.  But that’s not the whole story.  The roots of this legendary horror novel stretch far into the distant past…and deep into the human psyche.
