Powers of Darkness: The Lost Version of Dracula by Bram Stoker, Valdimar Ásmundsson
4.0
The Icelandic version of Dracula whose origins are still up for debate. Was this an early version that Bram Stoker gave for international purposes or was this a complete rewriting by Valdimar Ásmundsson? It is hard to say with any certainty.
A very interesting and unique version of Dracula that adds so much depth and intrigue to the opening elements of the story but completely loses all interest in the back half.
The historical information packaged in the forewords (there are multiple) are essential Dracula reading for any scholar.
