The Scottish anthropologist who inspired Dracula
“More decidedly evil is the nosferatu, or vampire, in which every Roumanian peasant believes as firmly as he does in heaven or hell…”
—from THE LAND BEYOND THE FOREST: Facts, Figures, & Fancies from Transylvania (1888), by Airdrie’s own Emily Gerard. Gerard’s work was a key part of Bram Stoker’s research materials for Dracula.
