of Darkness: The Lost Version of Dracula presents a remarkable scholarly endeavour in unearthing and translating Makt Myrkranna, the Icelandic adaptation of Bram Stoker's Dracula, originally published in 1901.This version, long thought to be a mere abridgment, turns out to be an extensive reworking with significant narrative and thematic divergences.De Roos' analysis and translation provide invaluable insights into the complexities of Dracula's textual history, as well as the development of Gothic literature.Powers of Darkness begins with a foreword by Dacre Stoker
