Step into a Captivating Labyrinth Where History Collides with Myth and Dracula's Origins Are Revealed
With the inquisitive heart of an adventurer and the rigor of a scholar, Steven J. Rolfes leads you through centuries of dark folklore, lost legends, and the wild inspirations behind Bram Stoker's immortal classic. Rolfes's lively, immersive, and unfailingly engaging prose helps you make sense of what is fact, what is fable, and how the two entwine to birth the world's ultimate vampire.
With riveting research and unforgettable tales, this book reimagines the legendary Count for a new generation. Each chapter illuminates long-buried secrets and introduces you to the poets, exiles, actors, and real-life monsters who shaped a myth. Equal parts travelogue, literary detective story, and cultural history, The Bloody Road to Castle Dracula is your invitation to cross the threshold into the shadows--if you dare.
Steven J Rolfes is the author of numerous books, including The Bloody Road to Castle Dracula, Beware the Banshee's Cry, and Historic Downtown Cincinnati (with Kent Jones). Passionate about history, Rolfes has been published in various magazines and hosted a summer radio program telling ghost stories. He has worked as a teacher, salesman, jeweler, former ESL teacher for Spanish-speaking immigrants, and detective. Now retired, he was a volunteer at the Cincinnati History Museum and an employee at the Ohio Regional Transit Authority.
