I Am Dracula

C. Dean Andersson writes a first-person account in which Dracula explains his origins as a mortal warlord destined to rule the undead. The narrative traces the secret history of vampires and witches through the haunted Carpathian Mountains of Transylvania. Andersson, recognized for his fearsome and direct horror style, presents blasphemous horror that cuts with sharp precision. This work offers a distinct perspective on the vampire king’s world, moving away from traditional myths to reveal what the author calls the truth behind the lies. The book appeals to readers who appreciate heavy metal fantasy adventure and up-front horror. It suits those who enjoy detailed examinations of supernatural subjects by authors who know their material thoroughly. The Count Dracula Fan Club president recommends this title without reservation for any vampire fan library. Graham Masterton praises Andersson’s words as cutting like razor wire, with every punctuation mark described as a drop of real blood. Publishers Weekly categorizes the work as heavy metal fantasy adventure. This volume does not suit readers seeking gentle gothic romance or academic historical analysis. It is designed for those who want a visceral, unapologetic look at Dracula’s past from his own viewpoint. The text avoids softening the horror, instead presenting it in its rawest form. Readers looking for a conventional retelling may find this approach too intense. The narrative remains focused on the warlord’s transformation and the dark history he uncovers.
