Ah, that's an interesting take on those things. See, my perspective was that all those things came from this book originally and not the other way around. I can see how modern readers would say, "Hey, go get a cross and garlic already!"

:D:D I think, your thoughts are also right. This is one of the first, if not THE first novel about a vampire. But the knowledge about garlic and co, the one's in my age have it from the narrations (in pop-culture for example). But the origin of that knowledge could be the Dracula Novel anyway. Just that nowadays, if you read the book for the first time, you might yawn because you already know what is going on

Thanks for contributing. It's actually not the very first fiction book about vampires, but it was the one that really stuck. Also, Stoker pulled his ideas from folklore, but he made them common knowledge. Again, many reviewers say he wasn't the very best writer, but he presented the story in a clever way. I just like to figure out why some books catch on, and he had a lot of the right ingredients, but I guess nothing is every totally new. I appreciate your ideas!
