It's long been thought that Castle Dracula was inspired by a castle in Transylvania, perhaps one that the infamous Prince Vlad Tepes had resided in. Not only is it a myth that Dracula was inspired by Vlad the Impaler - he wasn't - but Castle Dracula in Transylvania also never existed.
Dacre Stoker, great grand-nephew of Bram Stoker has dedicated his life to researching the undying history of Bram Stoker and uncovering the untold truths about Bram and his classic novel, Dracula.
Here, Dacre reviews his research to unveil the real inspiration behind Castle Dracula and how a never before told reality threaded its way into a cult classic which will never die.
