About This Story
A NextChapter Serialised Novel, adapted from Dracula by Bram Stoker (1897), reimagined for the age of venture capital and surveillance technology. When a London solicitor is sent to finalise a property acquisition for Vlad Dracul - a reclusive Eastern European tech oligarch with an unexplained longevity and an unsettling interest in his visitors - he returns home ten days later with gaps in his memory and something wrong behind his eyes. The horror that follows is quiet, modern, and completely plausible. Until it isn't. Fourteen chapters, delivered daily to your inbox.
