Tickets and info at https://www.derbyquad.co.uk/events/legacyofdracula/

Dracula remains one of fiction’s most enduring characters, taking in hundreds of adaptations across multiple mediums, with the appetite for the world’s most famous vampire seemingly insatiable. But what makes Stoker’s creation so enduring – and what role did Derby itself play in the Count’s journey to fictional immortality? In this special evening event, we’ll be hosting an exciting evening featuring a superb panel of horror authors exploring the legacy of Dracula, as well as hearing from the Dracula Returns to Derby project team about the city’s part in the evolution of the character.

Featuring:
Horror legend Ramsey Campbell
JS Barnes, author of Dracula’s Child and Frankenstein’s Monster
Benjamin Kurt Unsworth, author of Into Wrack and Ruin

Tickets: £5 or FREE to attendees of Edge-Lit 11.
