DIGGING FOR DRACULA is an esoteric book that takes you far and wide through time and place. It is a tale of adventure across Europe and America on a search for literary truths and the meanings of centuries-old myths.
You will travel to the mysterious island of Vlad the Impaler and his medieval castle deep within the craggy peaks of the Carpathian Mountains; to a seat beside Bram Stoker on a cliff-edge in the eastern port of Whitby, England, a pivotal place in the classic novel; and to ‘Tinseltown’ Hollywood where Stoker’s character won immortality on stage and screen.
You will also meet with the Mummies of Dublin; the ‘Agony Aunt’ of vampire lovers in New York; voodoo artists in New Orleans; and a warm-hearted soul who by day drives a hearse and by night drives people into hysterics with his one-man Dracula cabaret show.
Grasp your garlic and prepare to enter the medieval stronghold of Snagov; the Lovable House of Horror; the Land of the Living Dead; and much more.
