Dacre Calder Stoker (born August 23, 1958) is a Canadian-American author, sportsman and filmmaker.[1]

Dracula the Un-dead[]

To "reestablish creative control over" the original novel, Dacre and screenwriter Ian Holt, decided to write "a sequel that bore the Stoker name" after a frustrating history with Dracula's copyright.

In 2009, Dracula: The Un-Dead was released, written by Dacre Stoker and Ian Holt. Both writers claim to have "based [their work] on Bram Stoker's own handwritten notes for characters and plot threads excised from the original edition" along with their own research for the sequel, though the plot and characters often directly contradict the original novel. This also marked Dacre Stoker's writing debut.[2][3] Winnipeg Free Press reviewer Kenneth MacKendrick called it "tempting enough to read and bad enough to be controversial, striking a balance between sensationalism and mediocrity".[4]
