In the Footsteps of Dracula: A Personal Journey and Travel Guide is the first and only book to include:
-For the armchair traveler, pictures and descriptions, in memoir form, of every site in England and Romania that is closely related to either Bram Stoker’s fictional Count Dracula or his historical counterpart, Prince Vlad Dracula the Impaler.
-A thorough history based on original research and face-to-face interviews with experts–such as the Man in Black of Whitby, England of how the novel Dracula came into being, and almost never happened.
-The true life story of Vlad the Impaler, connecting his lineage for the first time in print to the Brotherhood of the Wolf, which had already survived for two thousand years when Prince Vlad was born in 1431.
-For the independent traveler who would leave his armchair for the Great Unknown, a practical guide to the Dracula Trail, including a complete sample itinerary with recommendations for lodging and detailed instructions on traveling to each British or Romanian Dracula-related town or site.
