The location of Castle Dracula? The identity of the Count? The mystery of the Swedish and Icelandic translation/adaptations of the book? Not enough? How about the inspiration for Van Helsing? Hans Corneel De Roos has investigated all these questions and more, and addresses them in this interview from his home in The Philippines.

Special guest appearance by Hans De Rooster, who assures us that it is always daylight somewhere.
