Synopsis "The Dracula Index"

The Wasteland. A woman screams in the night. Spotlights flash on a pile of dust in the desolate patch of land that lay just beyond the tall crosses that picket the boundary of Encampment R-34. A group of curious students leave their bunkhouse to investigate. They are caught by the Elders and punished. Commencement Day. When job appointments are handed out, Mell and Bryne hear the worst news of all - they are assigned the life-job of General Task and will be working on the expansion plan that takes them beyond the safety of the camp. Fate leads the inquisitive pair into the ruined skeleton of a deserted encampment, and a working computer called the Chronoscope. After scanning a journal they unearthed from the Wasteland into the terminal, a collection of centuries old letters associated with keywords in the journal is compiled. New data about Patient Zero uploads to a detachable reader. It is called the Dracula Index. VAMPIRE EPOCH is a series of "mashup fiction", merging original content with work from the public domain. Here, in this post-apocalyptic landscape, you are given the opportunity to experience your favorite stories...re-vamp'd.

Abraham "Bram" Stoker (Clontarf; November 8, 1847-London; April 20, 1912) was an Irish novelist and writer, known for his novel Dracula

His early horror stories, such as "The Crystal Cup" (1872), were published by the London Society, and The Chain of Destiny in the Shamrock magazine. In 1876, while working as a civil servant, he wrote a textbook named The Duties of Clerks of Petty Sessions in Ireland (1879), this book was used as a reference for a long time

Being a theater critic for the Dublin Evening Mail, co-owned by the famous Gothic novelist Sheridan Le Fanu, one of the most important of his time for stories like Carmilla, about a vampire, greatly influenced Stoker when writing Dracula. Stoker's critique of the play was high praise for the performance in Hamlet by actor Henry Irving, who hired him to be his personal secretary and manager of the Lyceum Theatre in London

While working for Irving, he was a literary critic for the Daily Telegraph and wrote several novels like The Snake's Pass (1890) and Dracula (1897) and, after Irving's death in 1905, The Lady of the Shroud (1909) and The Lair of the White Worm (1911)

His wife was the administrator of his literary estate, and she made known works such as what would be the introduction to Dracula, the short story Dracula's Guest
