Dracula Reimagined—Ricardo Delgado's Dracula of Transylvania
All-new illustrated novel DRACULA OF TRANSYLVANIA reimagines Bram Stoker’s classic vampire story like never before!
DRACULA OF TRANSYLVANIA is a fresh, bold retelling of the classic Bram Stoker dark fairy tale with the pace of a modern thriller—a gripping new novel with incredible lavish concept art from one of Hollywood’s leading concept designers.
As a kid I noticed all of the different versions of the story, and each of them had their own particular way of excelling at a facet of the overall tale, but none fully grabbed the entire Dracula ambience and ran with it. So I made him this malevolent, powerful presence and brought the brides along on his journey as added muscle, to use gangster film lingo.—Beat interview
This all-new illustrated novel DRACULA OF TRANSYLVANIA, which features an original story and more than 20 lavish illustrations, reimagines Bram Stoker’s classic vampire story like you've never seen or read before!
“Ricardo Delgado's reimagining of Dracula is strange and bold and brilliantly original. I love it and WOULD be stunned by it if it wasn't coming from Ricardo. But brilliant is pretty much what I've come to expect from him. Still... He may have surpassed his usual brilliance here.”—Mike Mignola, creator of Hellboy
1899 Transylvania bleeds of history and evil. Young Solicitor Jonathan Harker braves ghosts, demons, living skeletons, and armies of rats, as he encounters Dracula. The demonic, shapeshifting vampire imposes his wrath, malice and vengeance upon an England about to enter the Modern Era, crushing everything in his path.
