Nel 1900 lo scrittore islandese Valdimar Ásmundsson tradusse Dracula, il celebre capolavoro gotico del 1897 di Bram Stoker. Lo pubblicò in Islanda lo stesso anno con una prefazione di Stoker, sul giornale da lui fondato e diretto, «Fjallkonan».

Foul are his ravages; gruesome and seemingly barbaric are the ancient and approved methods by which folk rid themselves of this hideous pest. The tradition is world-wide and of the greatest antiquity. How did it arise? How did it spread? Does it indeed contain some vestige of truth, some memory of savage practice, some trace of cannibalism or worse? These and ...

This new volume, The Vampire in Europe, uniform with the other, deals with the subject from a historical point of view and presents the evidence which gave rise to the theories.
