Dracul is a 2018 prequel novel to Bram Stoker's classic 1897 work Dracula. The book was written by Bram Stoker's great-grandnephew Dacre Stoker and American author J. D. Barker. It is Stoker's second novel, after his 2009 Dracula sequel, Dracula the Un-dead.
In its preparation, Stoker and Barker referenced Bram Stoker's notes for Dracula, its manuscript, its Icelandic variant Makt Myrkranna, and the short story Dracula's Guest, while Stoker also visited the locations mentioned in the books and in Bram Stoker's diary.[1] Dracul makes use of the unpublished first 100 pages of Dracula's manuscript.[2] Primarily set in 1868, the novel places a 21-year-old Bram Stoker as its central character, as he journals the sequence of events that lead him to facing off with The Count, including Stoker's childhood.[3]
