Bram Stoker’s novel Dracula completely transformed the idea of vampires. And the pop culture image of Dracula’s castle is based on a building that never existed, but was an amazing creation of a writer’s imagination of a location in Romania he never visited. Today Romania is a tourist desination, in part driven by visitors’ desire to visit a place where the fictional events of the novel were set. They even buy dirt from a castle linked to a fictional vampire who never existed. We seek authenticity, the real, in the fictional…even when the story is about the most famous creature of the night, Dracula.
