A biography of the real fifteenth-century Wallachian leader known as Vlad the Impaler, who inspired the classic horror novel by Bram Stoker.

Dreaded by his enemies, emulated by later rulers like Ivan the Terrible, honored by his countrymen even today, Vlad Dracula was surely one of the most intriguing figures to have stalked the corridors of European and Asian capitals in the fifteenth century.


Vlad Dracula also served as the inspiration for Bram Stoker's classic vampire tale. However, as this biography proves, "the real Dracula is far more interesting than the fictional vampire" (Houston Chronicle). Covering Vlad Dracula's entire life and subsequent legend, this book includes "a fascinating chapter on the mystery of Dracula's empty grave" (New York Times Book Review).

Praise for Dracula, Prince of Many Faces
"Florescu and McNally manage to capture the ruthlessness, romance, and courage that characterized Dracula's ultimately pitiable life... A fascinating look at political intrigue in fifteenth-century Eastern Europe." -- Lamar B. Graham, Boston Phoenix Literary Supplement
