QuicheQ: What book? Author?

==================================
Dracula
(1897)
by Bram Stoker
(1897)
by Bram Stoker
Strange that it never struck me that the very next house might be the Count’s hiding place! Goodness knows that we had enough clues from the conduct of the patient Renfield! The bundle of letters relating to the purchase of the house were with the transcript. Oh, if we had only had them earlier we might have saved poor Lucy! Stop! That way madness lies! Harker has gone back, and is again collecting material. He says that by dinner time they will be able to show a whole connected narrative. He thinks that in the meantime I should see Renfield, as hitherto he has been a sort of index to the coming and going of the Count. I hardly see this yet, but when I get at the dates I suppose I shall. What a good thing that Mrs. Harker put my cylinders into type! We never could have found the dates otherwise.

Do I get the quiche?
PizzaQ, one slice plain:
You wouldn't think the guy who wrote "Dracula" lived a life full of happy music and delightful harmonies, night after night, year after year. Where'd all the happy music come from?

Here, wait till a dark, stormy night when you're all alone in the house.
Then check this one out.

All those years as manager of London's Lyceum Theatre (now doomed to a groundhog day relationship with 'The Lion King') would have contributed enormously to Stoker's partaking of the thespian pleasures.

When F.W. Murnau had the idea to turn Dracula into film in 1922, he sorta "forgot" to ask permission from Stoker's widow. So he changed the names and locations et voila: Nosferatu, Eine Synphonie des Grauens !

Of course Stoker's widow found out, hell broke loose, et voila: one of the first cases of copyright infringement ! Like there is nothing new under the sun (vampire pun). The court ordered Murnau to destroy all copies, but a few survived and are now in the public domain.
Thanks also to Bob de Vleeptron for informing me about Shadow of the Vampire, a nice little "whatif" on the Nosferatu subject
