Powers of Darkness is an incredible literary discovery: In 1900, Icelandic publisher & 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 & deeper into Asmundsson`s story. In 2014, 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 & a totally reworked plot. The resulting narrative is one that is shorter, punchier, more erotic, & 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 & Asmundsson`s Makt Myrkranna. Powers of Darkness will amaze & entertain legions of fans of Gothic literature, horror, & vampire fiction. ...
