Was Dracula a Dubliner?

Available for over a year

Irish novelist Patrick McCabe asks whether Bram Stoker's Dracula was inspired by Stoker's homeland, Ireland, an influence often overshadowed by the novel's setting in Whitby and Transylvania. Was the infamous bloodsucker a product of Irish politics and folklore? McCabe journeys into the depths of the Stoker family crypt where Bram Stoker would visit during his youth and speaks to David Punter, chair of the International Gothic Association.
