Dracul

The prequel to Dracula, Dracul draws on notes and texts left behind by Bram Stoker to uncover not only the true origins of Dracula, but the dark forces that shaped Stoker himself—and the mysterious woman who binds their fates.

It is 1868, and a twenty-one-year-old Bram Stoker waits alone in a desolate tower, facing an unspeakable evil. Armed with crucifixes, holy water, and a rifle, he prays to survive the longest night of his life—and hastily records the events that brought him there.

As a sickly child in Dublin, Bram was cared for by a young woman named Ellen Crone. When a series of strange deaths rocks a nearby town, Bram and his sister Matilda begin to uncover a pattern of unsettling behavior that ends only when Ellen disappears. Years later, Matilda returns from Paris with terrifying news: the nightmare they thought long past has only just begun.
