The novel was horror story about Dracula who tried to move from Transylvania to England to find new blood. Bram Stokers spent year researching European folklore and stories about vampires before he published his story. Vampires was not invented by Stokers, but he defined the modern version of them and count Dracula has been the inspiration for countless modern stories about vampires.
