Although set in Transylvania with some scenes in England, the novel Dracula by Dublin-born author Bram Stoker, owes a lot to his Irish roots. Explore Stoker's Irish family tree, the actual sites connected to the story (not always in Ireland), and consider why this story is especially popular as we approach Oct. 31, the Celtic New Year (aka "Samhain"),
