Summary
More than 125 years since the character debuted, Dracula remains the quintessential vampire. But why is he so famous and what led to him enduring for so long? On this episode we explore the life of Dracula creator Bram Stoker and his most famous character's journey through popular culture.
Also, check out the two most recent episodes of Dave's spin off podcast Book Cheat where he explores the plot of Dracula with Cass Paige and Jackson Baly (episodes 106 and 107)
This is a comedy/history podcast, the report begins at approximately 04:16 (though as always, we go off on tangents throughout the report).
