Did you know Vampires came from Bampires? > Likes and Comments

Let me ask you a question.

Who created Dracula? Seriously.

I had been asking and vampires had only come on tne scene around 1700s to 1800s. No one seems to know.

So I created a very reasonable explanation. You would have to read my Bampire series called: MIND NIGHT BLUE 1st Night with a Bampire, book1

That's an interesting question. The idea of vampires is quite ancient, and as far as I know it was originally developed or conceived in India. The book "Vikram and the Vampire" is a collection of old Hindi tales about these "vampires", which was collected by Sir Richard Burton. I think that S XIX authors came to discover these tales, maybe through the reading of this book. The first edition of Richard Burton was in 1870 and Bram's book was published in 1897

This is definently interesting. So do you know who created Dracula? He was human first, correct? How was he created?

Hey there! If we're talking history, then Dracula was derived from the legendary Vlad the Impaler (1431 - 1476) born in what is today Romania. He was cruel and ruthless to his enemies, oftentime impaling them on stakes and leaving them out for others to see. His people were very well protected as this was a great scare tactic. But, he was blood-thirsty, and though may or may not have actually bathed and drank the blood of his victims, he did inspire Bram Stoker to bring Dracula as modern culture knows it to life. He was also inspired by the folklore of his Irish upbringing and likely popular culture of his own era.

Ahhh, that's what I love about writing/storytelling. There's always some fascinating root, and the best of these keep inspiring more and more stories! Just like Bampires! :)

Great information. So lets play in the fantasy world. How did a human Dracula become a Vampire Dracula? What was his transformation form human to blood drinking creature who would die in the sun?
