Dracula Sequence
Fred Saberhagen · 10 novels · 2 short stories · 1975–2009
Fred Saberhagen's Dracula series retells the vampire sympathetically as its recurring protagonist, opening with The Dracula Tape, which reframes Bram Stoker's novel from Dracula's own point of view as self-defense against his Victorian pursuers. Later volumes carry him into new eras and pair him with other literary figures, drawing on Saberhagen's own Sherlock Holmes pastiches. Across its ten-plus novels, the series treats Dracula less as a monster to be destroyed than as a long-lived outsider navigating each new century's dangers.
