Few fictional characters have proven to be as enduringly popular as the legendary Count Dracula. First published in 1897, Bram Stoker's gothic masterpiece thrilled and disturbed Victorian society with its dark and compelling themes of violence, lust, cruelty and death. For many the elegant but threatening figure of Dracula has come to epitomise the concept of the vampire. However, Stoker's memorable creation arguably forms one link in a chain of fiction and legends concerning vampirism that stretches far into the past and increasingly, it seems, into the future.
