Beyond the Vampire
PRINCE PENMAN
This audiobook is narrated by a digital voice.
Dive beyond the vampire with Prince Penman in this electrifying journey through Dracula's shadowy roots. From Bram Stoker's ink-stained Victorian dread to Vlad the Impaler's blood-soaked legend, Penman unearths the literary exploration and horror history that birthed an immortal icon. Why does Dracula never die? The answer lurks in Vegas trailer parks, where Béla Jr.'s cape frays; in L.A. tar pits, where a Starbucks vampire vapes truths; in Transylvanian mazes peddling plastic fangs; and in an Icelandic teen's lilac rebellion.
This isn't just a tale of fangs and capes—it's a mirror to vampire culture, from gothic literature's velvet melancholy to TikTok's glittering undead. Penman blends gonzo grit with archival depth, tracing Dracula's evolution through Stoker's prose, Lugosi's silk, and modern memes. Meet the outsiders who wear his shadow—Elin, the neurospicy flag-waver; the vlogger lip-syncing to Cardi B; the tourists snapping selfies with Styrofoam stakes. Each thread reveals how Vlad the Impaler's terror and Bram Stoker's genius fused into a myth that haunts us still.
Perfect for fans of horror history, gothic literature, and the undead's enduring pulse, Beyond the Vampire is a wild ride through centuries of hunger—literary, historical, and human. Unearth the roots of a monster who's more than a myth—he's us. Grab your cape and dig in.
