He's just a scam. Understanding the work and literary talent does not come through DNA. His continuation is a disaster and he distorted his uncle's story.
@@Penelope-xx5pq yeah, but there’s one thing you forgot. Dacre stoker never sought to replace the original book. Plus the prequel he did was actually an improvement.
This is fascinating! I just started reading Dracula a couple of days ago, and, as a Romanian, it's been absolutely fascinating to see how much detail Stoker put into the research! I'm only on chapter 3 so far, but I really appreciate the research - it's beautifully accurate to my people's history so far.
Wow this is the neatest kind of collector's edition and canonization of a classic popculture thing. Now I want to see the Tolkien Estate sell replicas of Tolkien's unreadable wall of unmarked and unsorted lore notes.
I am instantly thankful for subbing to your channel. I initially subbed because I liked your Darren Shan reviews, and now I am gifted with this beautiful video ❤️
i read somewhere that stoker chose to limit himself in terms of length since in his day, publishing a single-volume novel longer than 300 pages would have been more expensive for the author. those who read the original notes by stoker and the scenes that he deleted (such as dracula's guest and powers of darkness) couldn't help but wonder why he didn't write the definitive text that he had in mind all along and then divided it into three volumes. structurally it was all there: 1: harker's journey to transylvania 2: dracula discovered in london and chased out by harker van helsing and others. 3: dracula's final defeat in transylvania. for example, dracula's castle was supposed to have collapsed after his death. there is such an excerpt.
I have a great project idea. Recreate all of the letters, journal entries, news articles and transcripts of the wax recordings then type Mina's narrative as "Dracula".
Did any of these "First Editions" books ever go out? How would a person go about ordering a "virgin" 2 book set right now (March 2023)? I went on the Gemini sight and they are just listed as "sold out" with some updates on the Kickstarter pre-production.
I have put away (somewhere) a very old Dracula book that I have had a long while and would like to sell it. I have been looking for a way to determine its value, and I'd like to find a buyer. Where do I go to find this information?
I feel like this is a slim chance, but I really want to buy the first american edition of Dracula that they have refurbished with the white cover. Is there any way I can? Please help and advise if so 🙏❤
Thanks a bunch, not happy at all. I was really enjoying 'The Company of Death" and it stopped in the middle of nowhere (Nevada?) How am I going to sleep tonight not knowing what happens next? Ooh it is good though. 😎
It may be weird to say but Dacre seems like a really dorky Robert Redford (in appearance anyway). As I have absolutely no idea what Redford would be like to sit down with. But at least Dacre is dorky about something they have such a connection to and history with.
Can someone explain to me how he can be a DESCENDANT of Bram Stoker since he is a great grand nephew which means that he must be a descendant of one of Bram's SIBLINGS.
I've heard a number of professional archivists and restorers who recommend handling old books with bare hands--obviously they need to have clean hands, but otherwise clean bare fingers are more precise and careful than gloved ones, so it's probably fine.
I'm assuming they imposed selfquarantaines before and after for this promotional/interview chance. Probably got an extremely well ventilated studio set up, too.
Never handle a valuable book with bare hands. Is that really a 1st edition? I don't understand how careless you both are with it. Where can I order those two reproductions? What are the ISNB's?

As a fan of the Dracula novel I just love all these videos with Mr. Dacre Stoker. Plus he seems like a genuinely nice guy.

Wow! An original copy handled by Bram, what I wouldn’t give to hold that
Maven is living the dorky dream. This is super cool.

Maven is glowing.Look how pleased she is. Go Eliza
I love that mr. Stoker gets really excited about his discoveries. It's so interesting!
Wow this is the neatest kind of collector's edition and canonization of a classic popculture thing.
Now I want to see the Tolkien Estate sell replicas of Tolkien's unreadable wall of unmarked and unsorted lore notes.
I loved that you took a little sniff of the book! I also enjoy the smell of old books.
It's so wonderful that you have access to these amazing people; thank you for sharing!
Maven, I know you're going to get all four versions of the book. I wish I could too.
Dacre is such a great person to chat with. Really enjoyed listening to this one.

Great Video Maven!!! Great interview with Dacre!!! I am a Big Dracula fan!!! I have the Annotated Novel, Graphic Novel and 6 adaptations of Dracula!!!
damn i missed to get one just now it is the first time i am hearing of this
I wish saw this video 2 years ago. I'd really love to get one of those UK first edition replicas
I loved this. However can someone tell Dacre Stoker to get on with writing his own books, it's time we got another. 😎
I loved the book and the movies. I've also read the sequel of sorts that Mr. Dacre Stoker wrote, as well as Dracul which both were beautiful. ^///^
paint me starstruck! the greatest light novel ever written

love that tie Dacre..!
The Holy Grail of Bram Stoker!
Thanks for sharing 👍
Hello, Maven. I love you
Went from novel to analog bluray. That's a lot of material just for a special edition.
XD
I have a great project idea. Recreate all of the letters, journal entries, news articles and transcripts of the wax recordings then type Mina's narrative as "Dracula".
Maven - have you heard of the gender-swapped version of the phantom of the opera called Sing Me Forgotten?
I wish I could afford this : (.

"Descendant" can also refer to earlier ancestors.
first editions are selling for 20 to 30 000 .... im sure that would go for alot more!!
Am I the only one that cringed at them handling the first edition without at least wearing gloves? I loved it aside from that

Masks, where are they???? Did you really risk infection for this interview?!
