"The impression I had was that we were leaving the West and entering the East; the most western of splendid bridges over the Danube, which is here of noble width and depth, took us among the traditions of Turkish rule."

-- Jonathan Harker in Bram Stoker's Dracula (1897)

“Crossing the Danube River, babbling like a living testament to the glorious past of the Turkish nation, my great and famous race, the train carried me to places closely connected with Turkish history. Deep inside me the bitter, sweet, but above all proud and noble feelings fluttered and thrilled in me. I felt a great sense of national pride. What a miracle of the soul these feelings are! The sweet, endless immortality of human societies!”

-- Azmi in Ali Riza Seyfi's Kazıklı Voyvoda, an unauthorized Turkish edition of Dracula in which all the principals live in Istanbul instead of London (1928)

Oh my God yes Kazıklı Voyvoda is by far more nationalistic than the original Dracula and at the same time nostalgic of the Western lands "we had rightfully conquered" and reading it made me cringe in secondhand embarrassment so much though you get fed on ultranationalistic pride here from toddler age

it's so interesting how dracula was written as a piece largely centered around nationalistic fears from a british perspective (through an irish lens) yet the nationalism is barely really outright said. in dracula overt nationalism doesn't pass without the convienient cover of metaphor - all the while while ali riza seyfi took that nationalism, made it his own, seemed to just say Well This Clearly Isn't Nationalist Enough and put all the subtext into, well. text

#both texts are nationalist at their core but how both countries go about that nationalism is....different for sure. but interesting #i can only speak from a british perspective - i don't know how prolific the 'invasion literature' genre was outside of the uk #but it's interesting to see how that nationalistic fervour is adapted to suit different settings #dracula #ask

Dracula in Istanbul by Bram Stoker & Ali Riza Seyfioğlu

Reviewing "Dracula in Istanbul" by #BramStoker & #AliRizaSeyfioğlu from @Neon_Harbor

There is so much to love about “Dracula” and there is just as much to love about “Dracula in Istanbul.” At once familiar and wholly new “Dracula in Istanbul” is a Turkish “translation,” of “Dracula” and an incredible example of transformative fiction and how translation plays a part in that. 

The first big difference can be noticed immediately just by looking at the book, it’s a good deal…

I remember reading somewhere that Stoker made Dracula a descendant of the Tsekelysz (I probs mispelled that), a Turkic/Hunnic tribe, which was to relate his violence to Attila the Hun. There is a lot of East vs West in Dracula, and the whole reverse imperialism theme of the whole book.

Yes! He does claim to be of Székely descent. He also makes an attempt to connect himself to berserkers and werewolves, erroneously attributing these practices/beliefs to people from the Finno-Ugric language group (forerunners to Magyars/Hungarians) instead of the North Germanic groups with whom they were actually associated. Dracula's lineage speech (which I break down here) relentlessly tries to tie Dracula back to various forms of violence and conquest, often mangling history in the process. And you're right to pick up on the way that he is frequently aligned from the East in contrast to the "civilized" Western world.

If anyone wants to see a really fun reversal of all this, by the way, I once again recommend at least giving Dracula in Istanbul a glance. It's a 1928 unauthorized retelling of Dracula that makes the heroes Turkish instead of British, meaning that Dracula (who still lives in Transylvania and is explicitly identified as Vlad III) is now an invading force from the West.

Jonathan Harker’s heart might be gladdened to see the Law List, but in the unauthorized 1928 Turkish remix of Dracula where the protagonists hail from Istanbul instead of London, Turkish Jonathan Harker (Azmi) drops the line “When I saw the journal of the Turkish Bar Association, I had the sweet sensation of seeing a close relative.”

A Brief Guide to Early Literary Dracula AUs

One of the coolest things about being a Dracula fan in the 2010s is all the recent publication of materials shedding light on all of the really bonkers alternate Draculas that either nearly became Dracula itself or spun off from the original 1897 text. So yeah... here’s a rundown of the three weird psuedo-canonical AUs that this fin de siecle vampire novel just sort of... comes with.

Stoker's Notes/Typescript/"Dracula's Guest"

Bram's notes for Dracula indicate that he worked on the novel for at least seven years, that it went through many substantial changes in its plot and cast, and that he had a lot of completely metal ideas that either fate, his editors, or his slender grip on good taste did not permit to appear in the final novel. Some of these things appear in fragmentary form in the typescript for Dracula. Some of them got recycled into a short story later published as "Dracula's Guest." Some of them only appear scrawled in Stoker's atrocious handwriting on the various papers collected at the Rosenbach in Philadelphia.

Highlights:

Things initially were going to take place in Styria and the villain's name was going to be Count Wampyr.

Arthur doesn't exist and Jack/Lucy is canon.

Jonathan Harker has a "shrewd, skeptical sister."

There's a third heroine named Kate Reed (or Kate Lee) who is school chums with Lucy and Mina and apparently helps to spread the flow of gossip about Lucy and her curly-hair beau going to St. James concerts.

There's a painter named Francis who probably discovers that the Count (in addition to having no reflection and showing up as a skeleton in photographs) cannot even be painted.

Other unused characters include a philosophic historian, a paranormal investigator, and a pair of deaf/mute servants in the Count's employ.

The Count has a secret chamber where everything is blood red, and it's apparently really scary.

Quincey might be a professional inventor named Brutus Marix. He also might go to Transylvania in the middle of the book. Also, he just might SAVE THE DAY DURING THE FINAL BATTLE BY OPENING FIRE WITH AN EARLY FORERUNNER TO THE MACHINE GUN.

There appear to have been werewolves planned.

Jack has a spooky party at his house where everyone has to tell a ghost story like they're living it up at the Villa Diodati. Dracula shows up and is the thirteenth guest at this super goth affair and presumably tells the spookiest story of all.

Jonathan spends three chapters/100 pages doing all sorts of crazy stuff that happens before what we now think of a Chapter 1 of Dracula. These shenanigans include encountering the Count pretending to be dead in a Munich leichenhaus, going to see a performance of The Flying Dutchman, and doing all that incredibly spooky stuff in "Dracula's Guest" where he has adventures with wolf friends on Walpurgisnacht.

Castle Dracula sinks into the earth in a VOLCANIC EXPLOSION after Dracula dies.

There is also mention of Dracula FLYING out of his coffin into the air during the final confrontation and the Brides getting taken out by chance BOLTS OF LIGHTNING. 

Seriously. We have legitimate evidence that were we but in the true and righteous timeline, Dracula would have ended with lightning bolts and machine guns going off in an aerial vampire battle before a volcano explodes.

Makt Myrkranna (AKA Powers of Darkness AKA Icelandic Bootleg Porno Dracula)

So a few years after Dracula was published, it appears that somebody in Sweden ripped it off, made it much much more Hammer Horror, and published it as their own thing called Mörkrets Makter (Powers of Darkness). Then, after that, Valdimar Ásmundsson in Iceland ripped that off and republished it as his own thing called Makt Myrkranna (...also Powers of Darkness). This latter work just got translated into English in 2017, and there's been intense speculation as to whether or not whomever originally wrote this thing had anything to do with Bram Stoker and his early drafts for the novel, given that it is headed by a preface that is controversially claimed to have been written by Bram, himself. 

Highlights:

The first four chapters of the book (the ones everyone tends to really like) are now massively massively expanded, and Jonathan Harker (now named Thomas) gets to spend much more time exploring the castle, trying to escape, having the Count tell him creepy sexual anecdotes, and watching busty women get murdered.

The three women in the castle have been condensed into one woman, who seems to be the Count's vampiric, incesty bride/cousin/whatever and whose death involved her being locked in a bedroom with her lover until he went mad and threw himself out a window.

Instead of finding a secret room of boxes with dirt in them, Jonathan Thomas finds a secret ritual orgymurder room where primordial ape men engage in forbidden revels while the Count bites hypnotized virgins to death.

Everything that is not in the massively expanded castle section is barely sketched out summaries of lots and lots of wacky things happening with no real explanation (apparently these portions were treated with more detail in at least one version of Mörkrets Makter, but that's not available in English yet).

Lucy (now Lucia) becomes a vampire, but she is never staked, and her plot is never really resolved. Arthur, convinced she is alive after people watch her get back up from being dead, orders that people leave out some blankets and snacks for her (very considerate), and then that thread just sort of ends.

Renfield doesn't exist. Jack sort of makes up for this gap in the novel's tragically dead madmen quota by going mad and dying himself.

Said going mad and dying is facilitated by him attending one two many freaky mesmerism parties at Carfax with the Count's posse of debauched, anarchist, international conspirator, orgymurder cultist noblemen. 

Then like... a mysterious violinist shows up at his asylum and the next thing you know, the Count & Co. have taken over the joint, Quincey has to pretend to go crazy to infiltrate, and the entire place burns down. 

There is actually some sort of police investigation into all of the many many many illegal things going on. After Van Helsing knifes Dracula to death, Quincey takes the fall for him, but the investigators don't end up taking him to trial.

Kazıklı Voyvoda (AKA Impaling Voivode AKA Dracula in Istanbul AKA Turkish Nationalist Propaganda Bootleg Dracula)

Taking a cue from Ásmundsson and whomever the Mörkrets Makter guy is (or not...), Turkish author Ali Rıza Seyfi wrote his own pirated version of Dracula and published it as his own work in 1928. Unlike the Makt Mykrannaverse, the world of Kazıklı Voyvoda is fairly faithful to the original text... save that the action is transposed from London to Istanbul, the events of the story now postdates the Turkish War of Independence, and the entire cast (Dracula excepted) is now very Turkish and very fond of waxing eloquent about their immense national pride in being very Turkish.

Highlights:

Dracula is explicitly identified as being Vlad III, and he is a marauding terrible foreign menace from the exotic West, persecuting the good Eastern folk of Istanbul just as he historically persecuted and impaled their ancestors before them. Anyone who has ever read and enjoyed any academic essay on Dracula and the colonial gaze may begin to salivate uncontrollably.

Forty-seven years before Salem’s Lot, Seyfi establishes that pretty much any religious symbol works on a vampire if you believe in it, and everyone throughout the text waves around charms made out of suras of the Koran and such to great effect.

Azmi (Jonathan) gets the tiniest scraps of expanded backstory in which we learn about his childhood predisposition towards fainting and the existence of his pious mother who took him to saints’ shrines in the hopes he might faint less.

Güzin (Mina) is no longer one of Dracula’s victims (unlike in the 1953 film adaptation of this book). She is, however, still an incredibly hardcore researcher nerd who makes sure to tell her fiance all sorts of cool Vlad III history facts.

Turan (Arthur), Afif (Jack), and Özdemir (Quincey) all served together during the war and became bros that way instead of just being three guys who went on crazy globetrotting adventures together before all independently deciding to propose to the same girl. 

Resuhȋ (Van Helsing) makes sure to drop a line reminding everyone of that time they all did blood tests and found out their blood types are compatible... you know... just in case anybody in this post-blood-typing era might be doing a bunch of blood transfusions and worrying about fatal hemolytic reactions.

So Turan (Arthur), Afif (Jack), and Özdemir (Quincey) are respectively a staff major, a military doctor, and an Anatolian Efe fighter who all fought in the Turkish War for Independence together, and this all makes a gazillion times more sense then them being an English Viscount’s son, an Amsterdam-educated psychiatrist, and a globe-trotting Texan who all went on adventures in Korea and Siberia for some reason.

Azmi further confirmed as the most adorable Jonathan Harker who is not actually Jonathan Harker

”There were even such books of reference as the London Directory, the ‘Red’ and 'Blue' books, Whitaker's Almanac, the Army and Navy Lists, and – it somehow gladdened my heart to see it – the Law List.” (Dracula)

“When I saw the journal of the Turkish Bar Association, I had the sweet sensation of seeing a close relative.” (Dracula in Istanbul)

There’s this great aside where Resuhȋ (Van Helsing), just turns to Afif and mentions OH YEAH BY THE WAY REMEMBER THAT BLOOD TYPING TEST WE DID WHERE WE FOUND OUT WE ALL HAD THE SAME BLOOD TYPE.

Thanks Seyfi. Nice save there.

Everyone in Dracula in Istanbul cries even more than everyone in Dracula and it’s kinda great.

Also, if you’re like me and you’re sort of using Powers of Darkness and Dracula in Istanbul as texts from which you pick and choose headcanon (I think --in particular-- you’d dig this, @general-sleepy), it might be interesting to note that Azmi, unlike Jonathan, actually talks about his mother. Apparently, she was a very pious woman who took him to various gravesites of holy men and gave him a charm with suras from the Koran that he always carries... all of this seemingly  in the hopes that it would help to cure his over-nervous temperament and childhood propensity for swooning.

luanna801 replied to your post: A Brief Guide to Early Literary Dracula AUs

I actually really appreciate both that Turkish Dracula used the historical connection to their advantage and that they seem to have tried to plug a few plot holes such as the blood type thing.

luanna801, Kazıklı Voyvoda is pretty much the only Dracula where I’m 110% on board with the Count explicitly being Vlad III. Given how incredibly weak the evidence is that Bram himself knew or incorporated much of anything about the Vlad, I feel a lot the adaptations that try to make use of the so-called “historical Dracula” do a disservice to the original narrative by trying to flesh out the Count’s personality and backstory with a specific real world figure. In Seyfi’s case, though, he’s clearly not interested in doing the Dracula Stoker was writing and Vlad just works really well for his own purposes (There’s a neat bit towards the end where the Turkish Drac Attack Pack even has some prolonged meditation on the whole nailing-turbans-to-emissaries-heads episode and the nobility of refusing to bow or show respect to monsters.) It was also written way before interpretations of Dracula as being Vlad III were popular in adaptation or even in scholarship, so it’s completely free from all of the worst tropes associated with that tradition (i.e. No dead riverwife drama).

And I agree on the blood typing thing, too. It’s just... a really funny moment when Resuhȋ reminds the gang of the crazy lucky coincidence that they just all happen to have matching blood.
