Prepare to have your image of Bram Stoker's vampire count changed forever. Elizabeth Miller takes a swift boot to the idea that Stoker based Dracula upon Vladislaus "the Impaler" Dracula III of Walachia, debunking decades of false evidence and providing evidence of her own from Bram Stoker's notes he made before writing the novel.
The book is succinct, readable and even funny at times. My one criticism is that perhaps Miller was a little bit too acerbic on occasion when sticking the boot into the falsehoods and myths, but that is possibly down to one of my favourite historians getting a drubbing for his part in spreading misconceptions! Either way, it's well worth a read if one wants to find out the truth about Bram, the Count and the Impaler Prince Vlad.
