Гари Смит0.0 The 1970s were turbulent times and the films made then reflected the fact. Vampire movies--always a cinema staple--were no exception. Spurred by the worldwide success of Hammer Film's Dracula Has Risen from the Grave (1969), vampire movies filled theaters for the next ten years--from the truly awful to bonafide classics. Audiences took the good with the bad and came back for more. Providing a critical review of the genre's overlooked Golden Age, this book explores a mixed bag from around the world, including The Vampire Lovers (1970), Dracula Versus Frankenstein (1971), Scream, Blacula, Scream (1973), 'Salem's Lot (1975), Dracula Sucks (1978) and Love at First Bite (1979) and many others.
Брэм Стокер, Valdimar Ásmundsson0.0 The first-ever translation into English of a newly discovered Icelandic adaptation of Bram Stoker’s classic gothic novel, Dracula
"With the discovery of its vast differences from Dracula, [Powers of Darkness] will have a lasting effect on the world of vampire studies."
―John Williams, The New York Times Book Review
"Powers of Darkness" is an incredible literary discovery: In 1900, Icelandic publisher and writer Valdimar Ásmundsson set out to translate Bram Stoker’s world-famous 1897 novel "Dracula". Called "Makt Myrkranna" (literally, “Powers of Darkness”), this Icelandic edition included an original preface written by Stoker himself. "Makt Myrkranna" was published in Iceland in 1901 but remained undiscovered outside of the country until 1986, when Dracula scholarship was astonished by the discovery of Stoker’s preface to the book. However, no one looked beyond the preface and deeper into Ásmundsson’s story.
In 2014, literary researcher Hans de Roos dove into the full text of "Makt Myrkranna", only to discover that Ásmundsson hadn’t merely translated "Dracula" but had penned an entirely new version of the story, with all new characters and a totally re-worked plot. The resulting narrative is one that is shorter, punchier, more erotic, and perhaps even more suspenseful than Stoker’s "Dracula". Incredibly, "Makt Myrkranna" has never been translated or even read outside of Iceland until now.
"Powers of Darkness" presents the first ever translation into English of Stoker and Ásmundsson’s "Makt Myrkranna". With marginal annotations by de Roos providing readers with fascinating historical, cultural, and literary context; a foreword by Dacre Stoker, Bram Stoker’s great-grandnephew and bestselling author; and an afterword by Dracula scholar John Edgar Browning, "Powers of Darkness" will amaze and entertain legions of fans of Gothic literature, horror, and vampire fiction.
