“Powers of Darkness: The Lost Version of Dracula” by Valdimar Asmundsson started as a direct translation of the original “Dracula” by Irish novelist Bram Stoker into the Icelandic language. However, Stoker’s 1897 Gothic novel eventually morphed into a beast of its own, becoming a fraternal twin by the time it was published in 1901 as “Makt Myrkranna (Powers of Darkness).”
