Even if you haven’t read the book, you know the story. Written by Bram Stoker at the end of the 19th century, Dracula tells of an ancient vampire lord who leaves his homeland behind to terrorize the population of Victorian Britain.  But that’s not the whole story.  The roots of this legendary horror novel stretch far into the distant past…and deep into the human psyche. This podcast will reveal how Stoker melded ancient folklore and contemporary fiction. It will show how he exploited Victorian fears around sex, science and religion. And it will explain why even now we remain fascinated by his creatures of the night. Binge all episodes of The Real History of Dracula exclusively with Wondery+.

American History Tellers is a podcast from Wondery that takes you through the events, times and people that shaped America and Americans — our values, our struggles and our dreams. In January 1692, several young girls living in Salem Village, Massachusetts, started behaving strangely. They screamed, barked, and writhed in pain. Their elders concluded that witchcraft was to blame. Soon, the girls began accusing local women of bewitching them and witchcraft hysteria swept through the small Puritan community.
