Abstract: The discussion about Bram Stoker's possible contribution to Mörkrets makter, the Swedish version of Dracula, and about the identity of the anonymous Swedish editor/translator, has reached no definitive conclusions yet. This paper addresses a series of minor mysteries linked to the Swedish variants: the possible connections between the Budapest, the Chicago and the Stockholm serialisations; the use of certain names (Draculitz, Mary Wood, Valentini's, Zolyva, Koromeszo); references to the Whitechapel Murders and the Thames Torso Mysteries, among others. Although these observations provide no definitive proof regarding the authorship of Mörkrets makter, taken together, they seem to show subtle support for the idea that these Dracula modifications were created entirely in Sweden.

In the year 2021, I revived my old Moonlake Editions imprint, in combination with the Rainbow Village brand. My book with Swedish Dracula drawings (1899-1900) was the first publication to appear under that name., followed by two e-books: Trends and Topics in Mörkrets Makter, and Bram Stoker's Hidden World. In 2023, I published an essay on Ossenfelder's poem "The Vampire" under the same imprint.

By request of Andreas Axikerzus Sahjaza from Brazil, I answered a series of written questions for Strigoi Rede Vampyrica Magazine (spring 2021 issue, but published in October 2021). The text is available both in English and in the Brazilian-Portuguese translation.

By request of Valur Grettisson, editor-in-chief of the Icelandic cultural magazine Reykjavik Grapevine, I answered a series of other questions, mainly about the Nordic versions of Dracula. It was published here on May 9, 2022. For my archive, I created a copy as a PDF file.

Presentation for the COTN International Dracula Conference in November 2022. To prepare for my talk, I wrote a 40-page illustrated  paper about the myth of the Scholomance and the location of Stoker's "Lake Hermanstadt," reconstructed from Gerard's travel report in The Land beyond the Forest and other contemporary travel accounts. For the actual conference presentation, however, I created a separate .pdf file with a simplified, visually oriented approach. The paper itself remained on my hard disk until I slightly edited it again in October 2024 and presented it as a "give-away" at the 2024 COTN International Dracula Conference.
