Summary:
Powers of Darkness is an incredible literary discovery: In 1900, Icelandic publisher and writer Valdimar Asmundsson set out to translate Bram Stoker’s world-famous 1897 novel Dracula. Called Makt Myrkranna (literally, ‘Powers of Darkness’), this Icelandic edition included an original preface written by Stoker himself. Makt Myrkranna was published in Iceland in 1901 but remained undiscovered outside of the country until 1986, when Dracula scholarship was astonished by the discovery of Stoker’s preface to the book. However, no one looked beyond the preface and deeper into Asmundsson’s story.
In 2014, literary researcher Hans de Roos dove into the full text of Makt Myrkranna, only to discover that Asmundsson hadn’t merely translated Dracula but had penned an entirely new version of the story, with all new characters and a totally reworked plot. The resulting narrative is one that is shorter, punchier, more erotic, and perhaps even more suspenseful than Stoker’s Dracula. Incredibly, Makt Myrkranna has never been translated or even read outside of Iceland until now.
Powers of Darkness presents the first ever translation into English of Stoker and Asmundsson’s Makt Myrkranna. With a foreword by Dacre Stoker, Bram Stoker’s great-grandnephew and bestselling author, and an afterword by Dracula scholar John Edgar Browning, Powers of Darkness will amaze and entertain legions of fans of Gothic literature, horror, and vampire fiction.

Thank you so so much for this awesome upload! I had no idea this even existed!!!! So thanks again!

And before you even say anything, yes I know I am a psychopath for spending this much time on something like this! Lmfao You can just thank me later for the copy and paste.

About the five authors:
Bram Stoker: (1847-1912), an Irish novelist and short story writer, was known during his lifetime as the personal assistant of actor Henry Irving and business manager of the Lyceum Theatre in London, which Irving owned, but is best known today for his 1897 Gothic novel Dracula. In his early years, Stoker worked as a theatre critic for an Irish newspaper and wrote stories as well as commentaries. He also enjoyed traveling, particularly to Cruden Bay in Scotland, where he set two of his novels. During another visit to the English coastal town of Whitby, Stoker drew inspiration for writing Dracula. He died on 20 April 1912 due to locomotor ataxia and was cremated in north London. Since his death, his magnum opus Dracula has become one of the best-known works in English literature, and the novel has been adapted for numerous films, short stories, and plays.
Vladimar Ásmundsson: (1852-1902) was the founder and editor of the Icelandic literary journal, Lady of the Mountains. Valdimar was born at Hvarf in Bárðardalur and grew up with his parents in Þistilfjörður. He was not sent to school but studied on his own. Between the ages of twenty and thirty, he went to Reykjavík and was involved in popular education for a while until he founded the magazine Fjallkonan in 1884. His other main job was to prepare the Icelandic sagas for printing by the publisher Sigurður Kristjánsson. Valdimar knew German, English, and French as well as Danish, but he had mostly learned all these languages himself. He was also very good at Icelandic. He wrote a book on Icelandic grammar, which soon became a widely used textbook. Valdimar translated Powers of Darkness (Swedish: Mörkrets Makter) by Bram Stoker from the Swedish serialization in Aftonbladets Halfvecko-Upplaga. His Icelandic translation was published under the title Makt Myrkranna, first for Fjallkonan in 1901, later in book form in the same year.
Hans Corneel de Roos: (born in 1956) is an independent researcher specializing in French and British Art of the second half of the 19th Century. He is the author of The Ultimate Dracula (2012) and numerous articles on Stoker’s masterpiece. He is a recipient of the Research Award of the Transylvanian Society of Dracula and since 2013 has acted as the editor of the Society’s newsletter. He initiated the Fourth World Dracula Congress that was held at Trinity College, Dublin, in October 2016. De Roos studied Political and Social Sciences in Amsterdam and Berlin, graduating cum laude in 1982. In January 2014, Hans established that the 1901 Icelandic “translation” of Dracula is not a translation at all, but a radical modification of the novel, created with Stoker’s personal consent.
Dacre Stoker: (born August 23, 1958) is the great grand-nephew of Bram Stoker and the international best-selling co-author of Dracula the Un-Dead (2009), and Dracul (2018). Dacre is also the co-editor of The Lost Journal of Bram Stoker: The Dublin Years (2012). Dacre is a native of Montreal, Canada. Dacre Stoker writes that he believes his uncle orchestrated the differences between his original version and the Icelandic one, which is shorter, more forceful, and more erotic since it was not subject to English censorship laws.
John Edgar Browning: (born October 14, 1980) is an American author, editor, and scholar known for his nonfiction works about the horror genre, Dracula, and vampires in film, literature, and culture. Previously a visiting lecturer at the Georgia Institute of Technology, he is now a professor of liberal arts at the Savannah College of Art and Design in Atlanta, Georgia. Browning is considered an “expert on vampires specializing in the Dracula figure in film, literature, television, and popular culture”. His works expound upon Dracula, horror, vampires, the supernatural, the un-dead, Bram Stoker, and gothic and cultural theory.
