DRACULA’S DEATH
The first motion picture to ever feature the character of Dracula was Dracula's Death, a Hungarian silent film made in 1921. It was not based on Bram Stoker's novel, but rather it was an original story about a young woman, who encounters the famous vampire during her stay at a mental asylum.
The movie, just like so many others from the silent film era, is considered lost. Luckily, a prose adaptation was published in 1924, which I translated to English. I also wrote a companion essay called The Devil Flew Away, about the history of Dracula's Death. Published by my small press Strangers From Nowhere, with stunning new illustrations by Jozsef Svab, available in ebook, paperback, and a numbered/signed hardcover edition.
