Bram Stoker’s iconic novel is by far the most influential horror book of all time. But what many people may not know is that the original final chapter for Dracula was removed by Bram Stoker. In the original chapter, Dracula’s castle falls apart as he dies, to hide the fact that vampires were ever there. But whether it was because of the possibly of a sequel or being mindful that it would echo the ending of Edgar Allan Poe’s Fall of the House of Usher, he dropped it.
If this chapter had been left I wonder if Dracula would still hold such a important part in history.
