Did you know that the world's most iconic vampire was made in Derby?

The classic image of Dracula was invented at Derby's Grand Theatre in 1924. His cloak, evening dress and even his charming manner derive from Hamilton Deane's pioneering adaptation of the famous vampire novel.

This 52 page full colour fully illustrated A5 book allows you to explore the development of Count Dracula in Derby.

Through it you can learn about the city's links with Bram Stoker, Sir Henry Irving, Florence Stoker, Edmund Blake and Bela Lugosi.

Includes unseen photos and bonus audio performances of excerpts from the 1924 play and a map of the self-guided Dracula Trail around Derby.
