Count Dracula by DocRedfield (2012)

Dracula is a horror novel with gothic elements written in 1897 by the Irish author Bram Stoker, told through the letters, journals and forms of correspondence, of a group of individuals and their experiences with Count Dracula.

Prior to 2022, Stoker's novel itself had only a small rarelit fandom, but through Dracula Daily, had a resurgence, especially on Tumblr.

The novel has been the inspiration for several dozen stage, screen, and print adaptations and is generally considered to have either established or popularized a number of the tropes common in vampire literature.

Popular activities in online Dracula fandom include fanfiction, fanart and group readthroughs/liveblogging of the novel.
