Editorial Review:

Product Description:
Bram Stoker's initial notes and outlines for his landmark horror novel Dracula were auctioned at Sotheby's in London in 1913 and eventually made their way to the Rosenbach Museum and Library in Philadelphia, where they are housed today. Until now, few of the 124 pages have been transcribed or analyzed. This comprehensive work reproduces the handwritten notes both in facsimile and in annotated transcription. It also includes Stoker's typewritten research notes and thoroughly analyzes all of the materials, which range from Stoker's thoughts on the novel's characters and settings to a nine-page calendar of events that includes most of the now-familiar story. The coauthors draw on their extensive knowledge of Dracula and vampires to guide readers through the construction of the novel, and the changes that were made to its structure, plot, setting and characters. Nine appendices provide insight into Stoker's personal life, his other works and his early literary influences.

Average Rating: out of 5 stars

Rating: 5 out of 5 stars - A Must for Scholars and Fans
Robert Eighteen-Bisang and Elizabeth Miller have accomplished the almost impossible - to present a new milestone in Stoker scholarship which will be indispensible reading for anybody seriously interested in the world's most important horror novel. The beautifully presented volume was obviously a labour of love.

First, we are presented with facsimile reproductions of Bram Stoker's original notes which, until now, were only available at the Rosenbach Museum in Philadelphia. The handwritten ... Read More


Rating: 5 out of 5 stars - Brams Dracula notes have arisen
The Authors, Miller and Eighteen-Bisang, have done a wonderful job in demystifying these mostly handwritten notes, that my great grand uncle
Bram Stoker, created as his notes for the book Dracula. I had access to the notes myself for research, but the form that Elizabeth and Robert have put them in, as well as the comments and perspective that they have added,
make this a must have for anyone interested in Dracula.


Rating: 5 out of 5 stars - Inspiring!
Reading through this book brought back to me the wonder and feelings of mysterious otherness that I felt the first time I read Stoker's novel as a child. It is so fascinating to see his creative processes at work, the way the novel developed from his first notes, etc. There is a familiarity to the process, of course. Any writer should recognize similar processes in their own work as it develops from an idea to a finished book. The authors have done a wonderful and invaluable service to scholars and fans ...

Rating: 5 out of 5 stars - Magnificent, an obvious labor of love...
Robert Eighteen-Bisang has spent an extraordinary life devoted to vampire lore and especially to Dracula.

Now, he and Elizabeth Miller, in a beautifully produced volume, annotate and transcribe Bram Stoker's notes for Dracula.

This book is a must-have for anyone interested in this seminal work of fiction and in how novels are put together.

Bravo!


Rating: 5 out of 5 stars - A "must-read" for Dracula fans!
In our modern era of DVD and Blu-ray movies, we are often treated to a special features section after the film, in which one can find interviews where the director describes his thought process and journey of creation, as well as various alternate and deleted scenes. What a DVD's special features section does for a great movie, "Bram Stoker's Notes for Dracula" does for Stoker's literary masterpiece. During the many years it took for Bram Stoker to write "Dracula," the author accumulated over a hundred ... Read More
