Dracula is a novel by Bram Stoker, published in 1897. An epistolary novel, the narrative is related through letters, diary entries, and newspaper articles.

It’s commonly believed that Bram Stoker was inspired to write Dracula after hearing stories about Vlad the Impaler, a Transylvanian prince believed to drink the blood of his enemies. However, Vlad the Impaler is never mentioned in Stoker’s notes for Dracula, despite his deep research into Transylvanian history.
