The result of all this research is Dracul, co-written by Dacre and JD Barker, following on from Dracula the Un-dead, Dacre's sequel to the original, published in 2009. Finally, a (closely supervised) reading of the original annotated Dracula manuscript, which Microsoft co-founder Paul Allen had bought at a private auction some years ago, further fuelled Dacre's curiosity. Further investigations unearthed a lost journal of Stoker's which provided significant insight into his life and work as a clerk in Dublin and later as a theatre manager in London. When Dacre Stoker, great-grandnephew of Dracula author Bram Stoker, discovered that 101 pages had been cut from the beginning of that book's manuscript prior to publication in 1897, the revelation sparked ideas for a possible prequel. Consider it a sort of literary detective job.
