The Bizarre Horror Novel That Outsold Dracula

December 29, 2020 by Mary Farnstrom Leave a Comment

How ridiculous would it sound if I said that the infamous novel Dracula by Bram Stoker—yes, the one that essentially created the foundation of what we think of when we envision vampires—was originally outsold six to one by a novel that you probably have never heard about?
