I am Elizabeth Miller, a professor
with the Department of English at Memorial University of Newfoundland
(in Canada). My special interest is in 19th century British Gothic
Fiction, with particular emphasis on Mary Shelley's FRANKENSTEIN and
Bram Stoker's DRACULA. I am very active in Dracula Studies, having
given papers on everyone's favorite vampire in Canada, the U.S., Ireland,
Germany, and Romania. I am also President of the Canadian Chapter,
Transylvanian Society of Dracula (an organization based in Romania)
and of the Lord Ruthven Assembly, a constituent group within the International
Association for the Fantastic in the Arts.
I have a special interest
in the vampire and his kin in mythology, folk lore, legend, and true
history. I wish to share some of what I have found. This site is dedicated
to that.
