Now so much of the population are vampires, but not all of them are healthy. His children spread far and wide, giving their dark gifts to the common populace of merry old England. The vampire lord took over (as the vampire hunters were afraid he might do), ingratiating himself into the court of Queen Victoria before taking her as one of his vampire brides and becoming the ruling Queen Consort. Picking up a few years after the events of Bram Stoker's novel, Anno Dracula finds an England very much changed by the rule of Dracula. The novel is a bit alternate fiction, alternate history, mash-up of everything vampire 9and 1880s fiction) related, all mixed up into one. Most of them ended up dead and Dracula went on to take over England. In construction is absolutely takes place after Dracula, but with the twist that instead of the fearless vampire hunters saving the day they, instead lost. That segue leads us into Anno Dracula, a novel that very much comports itself to be a sequel to the original novel. Dracula will always appear again and again.
Because of the character's place in the public domain, anyone is able to take the character and insert them into whatever work they want, from an unofficial sequel to a reinterpretation of the original story (insert my own plug for my Dracula script), or just some tangential work that so happens to feature the Transylvanian vampire lord.
It certainly seems like Dracula, Bram Stoker's novel of a vampire lord that inspired many vampire fans for decades to come, has lead to the most adaptations and interpretations of any fictional character ever (with a close second, of course, being Sherlock Holmes).
