A private journal belonging to Dracula author Bram Stoker has been discovered after 100 years.
The book was found on a shelf in his grandson's home and contains sketches and notes pertaining to the author's thoughts prior to writing the 1897 masterpiece. One passage reads "A man builds up his shadow on a wall bit by bit by adding to substance. Suddenly the shadow becomes alive."
The private journal of author Bram Stoker, in which he sketched his first thoughts about his legendary creation 'Dracula', has been unearthed after more than 100 years.

That's great, but I'm sorry, Christopher Lee didn't immortalize the character Dracula - Bela Lugosi did - in my opinion.
