There are stories about vampires in the mythologies of many nations, but it was Romania that gave the world the most memorable hero of this genre. Thanks to the Irishman Bram Stoker, Count Dracula turned from a harsh warlord of the Middle Ages into an aristocratic killer, and the whole world recognized him as such: the film industry created a whole gallery of charismatic bloodsuckers from Christopher Lee and Gary Oldman to Tom Cruise and Robert Pattinson. But who was the real Dracula and what does Romanian mythology and folk superstition have to do with it? Why is it bad to be born on a Tuesday and on what day should you not leave the house so that you are not kidnapped by a strigoi? Why does lightning never strike left-handed people? How to become a sorcerer's apprentice and what will happen for it?
