About Us

The Children of the Night Conference series is a non-profit academic initiative, supported by worldwide renowned Dracula experts. 

 

Our aim is to present groundbreaking research on Bram Stoker, his novel Dracula and related topics on a bi-annual basis.

 

Participation is open to everyone who has a truly interesting presentation to make. Moreover, the conferences will feature artistic contests and will be accompanied by a cultural program.

 

Because of the ongoing COVID crisis, however, our event in April 2021 will be virtual. Pre-recorded presentations or videos are welcome, if they premiere on our conference. The event will be hosted by Transilvania University of Brașov, Romania, Maria Curie-Skłodowska University Lublin, Poland, and the virtual platform created by hansderoos.com.

Dracula-an International

Perspective

Click this link and you can preview a free chapter of Dracula-An International Perspective, edited by Marius Crișan (Palgrave, 2017), and with many interesting contributions (including chapters by our keynote speakers).

 

This volume analyses the role of Bram Stoker’s Dracula and its sequels in the evolution of the Gothic. As well as the transformation of the Gothic location—from castles, cemeteries and churches to the modern urban gothic—this volume explores the evolution of the undead considering a range of media from the 19th century protagonist to sympathetic contemporary vampires of teen Gothic. Based on an interdisciplinary approach (literature, tourism, and film), the book argues that the development of the Dracula myth is the result of complex international influences and cultural interactions. Offering a multifarious perspective, this volume is a reference work that will be useful to both academic and general readers.
