Few fictional characters have proven to be as enduringly popular as the legendary Count Dracula.  First published in 1897, Bram Stoker\'s gothic masterpiece thrilled and disturbed Victorian society with its dark and compelling themes of violence, lust, cruelty and death. For many, the elegant but threatening figure of Dracula has come to epitomise the concept of the vampire.  It is arguably within the medium of film, however, that the figure of Dracula has achieved its greatest fame within popular culture.  In Dracula: The Origins and Influence of the Legendary Vampire Count, author Giles Morgan examines the roots of the vampire myth and the creation of Bram Stoker\'s masterpiece of horror.
