  This full-cast performance of Dracula offers a new way to experience Bram Stoker's seminal vampire story, which follows Abraham Van Helsing's efforts to track down Lucy Seward after she becomes the victim of Count Dracula. Originally written by Irish playwright Hamilton Deane, this stage play was the first authorized adaptation of the 1897 epistolary novel Dracula. Beginning a tour in England in 1924, it was then revised by American writer John L. Balderstone for a Broadway production that opened in October, 1927, featuring Hungarian-American actor Bela Lugosi in his first English-language role. Balderstone's revision would become the basis of the 1931 film adaptation, also starring Lugosi. The play was revived in 1977, receiving the Tony Award for Best Revival and leading to the 1979 film, both starring Frank Langella.

  Winner of the Writer's Digest 9th Annual Self-Published E-book Grand Prize. 
  A gripping story of loss, manipulation and the fight to survive 
  Sam Cloud-Carson has a good life. He’s a budding baseball phenom who can pack the stands with scouts. He’s surrounded by a loving family. And he’s well known in his Southern Ute tribe and beyond as the best wildlife tracker anyone has ever seen–anyone, including Drake Dixon. 
  Drake doesn’t concern himself with anything or anyone that can’t give him what he craves: money and power. His position and prestige as owner of Diamond Bar Security bring him both, but he knows young Sam can bring him even more. If he can convince him to come on board and track for Diamond Bar in the wealth-laden mountains of Afghanistan, that is. 
  When the worst day of Sam’s life becomes the best day of Drake’s, their paths become impossibly intertwined in a journey across the globe–a journey with life-altering implications for them both.
