My brother and I (Both Stokers) have come up with a good novel based on Dracula as a background character and other characters linked to him. We don't know if we're related to Bram Stoker or not, but I was wondering if it is okay to release the draft out to look for publishing, or if the usage of Dracula is forbidden? I know Bram Stoker's wife had a huge law suit going on with movie rights and so forth to Dracula. True many movies have been made with Dracula, and I am sure the movie makers didnt go thru lawyers to obtain the rights of usage of the character. So is Dracula SO COPYWRITED that I'd have to have permission from the proven Granddaughter of Bram Stoker and so forth to be able to use the character?
If it were that easy to just write about Dracula, then why aren't there about a million different Dracula books out there by other writers?
So if a publishing company takes my book they will handle the copy writes?
