Dracula in Visual Media

This is a comprehensive sourcebook on the world’s most famous vampire, with more than 700 citations of domestic and international Dracula films, television programs, documentaries, adult features, animated works, and video games, as well as nearly a thousand comic books and stage adaptations. While they vary in length, significance, quality, genre, moral character, country, and format, each of the cited works adopts some form of Bram Stoker’s original creation, and Dracula himself, or a recognizable vampiric semblance of Dracula, appears in each.
The book includes contributions from Dacre Stoker, David J. Skal, Laura Helen Marks, Dodd Alley, Mitch Frye, Ian Holt, Robert Eighteen-Bisang, and J. Gordon Melton.

John Edgar Browning is a visiting lecturer at Georgia Tech and has over twelve published and forthcoming books on Bram Stoker, vampires and horror.
Caroline Joan “Kay” Picart is a scholar and attorney at law practicing in federal and state appellate criminal law, and publishes peer reviewed journal articles and books principally on law, criminology, sociology, and film. Prior to law, in collaboration with Cecil Greek, a sociologist, she had earlier developed the framework of a Gothic Criminology, which is the interdisciplinary study of law and monstrosity in both real and “reel” modes.
