Dacre Stoker Presents: Stoker on Stoker
Bram Stoker’s Life, the Mysteries Behind the Research and Writing of Dracula

Join us inside VAMPA’s Sanctuary Room on Sunday, October 18th, at 3:00 pm, for a special 90-minute presentation by Dacre Stoker, the great-grandnephew of Dracula author Bram Stoker and a leading authority on the life, research, and legacy of the creator of the world’s most famous vampire.

An international and New York Times bestselling author, Dacre co-authored Dracula the Un-Dead and Dracul, both inspired by Stoker family history and Bram Stoker’s unpublished notes. As co-manager of the Bram Stoker Estate, he has spent decades researching family archives, rare manuscripts, and the real people, places, and events that helped inspire Dracula.

In this richly illustrated audio-visual presentation, Dacre takes audiences behind the scenes of one of the most influential novels written.
Through rare photographs, manuscripts, maps, research materials, and family history, he separates myth from fact while revealing how Bram Stoker transformed history, science, folklore, and personal experience into Dracula.

Guests will discover:

• Bram Stoker’s original research notes

• Rare books used during the writing of Dracula

• Newly uncovered insights from the surviving manuscript

• The real locations behind the novel

• Why Vlad Dracula became part of the legend

• The search for Castle Dracula

• Whitby’s role in the novel’s creation

• Bram’s writing retreats in Scotland

• The surprising medical influences behind the story
