For the first time in English comes a remarkable literary discovery. In 1928, Turkish author Ali Riza Seyfioglu pirated Bram Stokers Dracula, completely rewriting it with new material, patriotic overtones, and Islam. A rare example of a bootleg novel, its also the first adaptation to plainly identify Dracula as the historical warlord Vlad the Impaler.In Seyfioglus story, when a modern Istanbul is threatened by the invasion of an ancient vampire, three veterans of the Turkish War of Independence are thrust into a conflict with their nations hereditary enemy. Seyfioglu boldly reworks Stokers classic tale, retelling it from the unique perspective of a people once routed by the reallife Dracula.Dracula in Istanbul The Unauthorized Version of the Gothic Classic presents the first ever translation into English of Seyfioglus novel,Kazikli Voyvoda. With a foreword by Anno Dracula author Kim Newman, an introduction by Turkish translation scholar Sehnaz Tahir Graglar, an afterword on the 1953 movie adaptation Drakula Istanbulda by film scholar Iain Robert Smith, and several rare photos from the film, Dracula in Istanbul is a rare combination of literary artifact and genuine entertainment. From movie and vampire buffs to literature scholars, theres enough here to delight all the children of the night.
