Powers of Darkness (Iceland)

Common card · No. 427224

Powers of Darkness (Icelandic: Makt myrkranna) is an Icelandic gothic horror novel by Valdimar Ásmundsson serialised in 1900–1901 that claims to be a translation of the English-language novel Dracula by Bram Stoker. Instead, it was in fact based on an earlier Swedish adaptation of Dracula, even with the same title — Mörkrets makter ("Powers of Darkness"), by "A—e", specifically the shortened version. Both adaptations differ significantly from Dracula, and are believed to have used an early draft of Stoker's novel as partial basis for the translation.
