Transylvanian Author Turns Decades of Research into “Dracula Chronicles”

For 40 years Victor T. Foia scoured libraries, museums, churches, monasteries, mosques and mausoleums spanning two continents. In the end, he utilized this vast knowledge of the subject to recreate Dracula’s world in a multi-volume historical novel. Foia has recently published the first volume of the Dracula Chronicles series, Son of the Dragon.

Dracula is certainly among the best-known men in the world, yet arguably the least understood. While many stories have been told about both the real and the fictional Dracula, Foia’s account benefits from his extensive research and the unique perspective of a Transylvanian native.

Foia, a Transylvanian native who splits his time between Seattle, Wash., and Door County, visited the castles, fortresses, dungeons, and underground chambers that witnessed the life of his protagonist Dracula. He interviewed historians in Romania and Turkey to capture new insights into the makeup of his elusive compatriot.
