The Horror Crossover Encyclopedia: The Heir of Dracula

Join us each week as we share a new excerpt from Robert E. Wronski Jr.’s book, The Horror Crossover Encyclopedia, now available in print and digital editions!

HARRY DICKSON # 81 “THE HEIR OF DRACULA” (STORY BY JEAN RAY)

Release Date: January 1933 (Contemporary Setting)

Series: Harry Dickson

Horror Crosses: Dracula (novel)

The Story: Famed detective Harry Dickson tracks a vampire who claims to be a descendant of Dracula.

Notes: Because this story was later translated and collected by Jean-Marc and Randy Lofficier, I feel we can consider this Dracula to be related to the Dracula from Tales of the Shadowmen, who is the original from Bram Stoker’s novel. This vampire likely isn’t an actual genetic descendant of Dracula, but likely a soul clone, or a vampire sired by Dracula, such as Alucard from Son of Dracula.
