From the host of American History Tellers (Lindsay Graham) comes a new series that explores the history behind the story of Dracula, written by Bram Stoker at the end of the 19th century. The roots of this legendary horror novel stretch far into the distant past…and deep into the human psyche. This podcast will reveal how Stoker melded ancient folklore and contemporary fiction. It will show how he exploited Victorian fears around sex, science and religion. And it will explain why even now we remain fascinated by his creatures of the night.
