The Dracula Society

Don't forget to order our new Anthology published in honour of our 50th Anniversary. Tales and poems written by fifteen members of the Society, together with a sixteenth exclusive tale from acclaimed author, Will Maclean. All inspired by Bram Stoker's classic novel.

I've just been reminded that yesterday was the 114th anniversary of Bram Stoker's death. We shall certainly raise a glass in his honour at the AGM.

Members and Guests know where we are. If you're not a member and you'd like to join, please see our website.

Members and their guests are all welcome, £10 per person. You know where we are!

Coming soon ... Saturday 25th April is the date to remember! Our AGM followed by A GRAND GOTHIC AUCTION - not to be missed! If you want to get rid of that signed first edition (at a reasonable price of course) then come along! Don't forget to book and bring your booty!

What a wonderful turnout on Saturday for Rosie Fiore's talk on her book, The Death and Life of Lucy Westenra. Thank you so much Rosie! See you all at the April AGM and Gothic Auction!

We're all really looking forward to next Saturday 7th March, for a talk by author ROSIE FIORE about her book, The Death & Life of Lucy Westenra. If you've forgotten to book, there's still time! See you there!

Thanks to everyone who came to the New Year screening. So good to enjoy the fabulous Dracula Prince of Darkness with like-minded friends.
