It is almost inconceivable that Bram Stoker wrote Dracula. Still, he must have done it. There is his name on the title page, and before the tale was bound up and offered us between covers it ran in length in various newspapers, and under the same name of authorship.
—“Bram Stoker’s Story” in the Detroit Free Press, 18 Nov 1899, p11

The research for Deeper Cut: Lovecraft, Miniter, Stoker: the Dracula Revision required an examination of the history of the Dracula manuscript and an evaluation of the textual variations in order to evaluate whether there was any place in the timeline for Edith Miniter, as Lovecraft alleged, and to judge Bram Stoker’s involvement with changes to the text before and after publication.

One of the most notable developments in Dracula studies in recent years has been the discovery of and translation into English of the 1899 Swedish translation Mörkrets Makter (translated into English as Powers of Darkness), which was serialized in the newspaper Dagen, and 1901 Icelandic edition Makt Myrkanna (also translated into English as Powers of Darkness) serialized in the newspaper Fjallkonan. However, there were also numerous Dracula serializations in English-language newspapers in the period 1899-1928.

Some of these have been discussed by previous scholars: John Edgar Browning in The Forgotten Writings of Bram Stoker listed serialization in the Washington Times (1917-1918) and the Charlotte Daily Observer (1899), drawing on information from the Bram Stoker Estate and researcher David J. Skal. Browning also mentions advertisements in the Fitchburg Daily Sentinel, Lowell Sun for a serial in the Boston Advertiser (1921); I have not been able to find an online archive for the Advertiser yet, but can confirm the ads.

That advertisement also ran in Worcester Telegram, Berkshire Eagle, Biddeford-Saco Journal, Boston Jewish Advocate and Herald; Springfield Daily News, Republican, and Morning Union; Quincy Patriot Ledger; Fall River Evening Herald and Globe; Holyoke Transcript-Telegram; The Day (New London, CT), Daily Herald (Rutland, VT), Sun-Journal (Lewiston, ME), and Bangor Daily News around the same time.

Hans Corneel de Roos, searching for the origin of the Swedish and Icelandic newspaper serials, came across the 1899 Inter Ocean serialization—the first known Dracula serial—and also added the Buffalo Courier (“Next Stop: Chicago! Earliest U.S. Serialisation of Dracula Known so Far Discovered. Was it the Source of Mörkrets makter?”)

.Thanks to the digitization of old newspaper archives and online subscription services, these newspaper serials, which have received rather scanty attention, are more accessible today than they were previously. Enough that a survey of the extant texts is warranted.

Serialization of novels was nothing strange in the late 19th/early 20th century; many newspapers contained fiction, and ran short stories, poetry, and serials for the entertainment of their readers. Licensing serials was another source of income for authors (or their widows), and served as ready-made advertising, as newspapers often made much of the stories, at least in the first few installments, to drum up excitement for their investment. The problem with serializing Dracula, however, might be apparent to anyone that has read the book. The unabridged 1897 novel is rather long (~160,500 words), divided up into 27 chapters of unequal length, and is in epistolary format, further sub-divided into an assortment of letters, diaries, articles, phonograph recordings, and memoranda, which are also of varied length.

Trying to break that up into newspaper format would be an ordeal for any editor, and many ended up breaking up chapters, letters, and diary sections as they attempted to squeeze the text into space. Worse, from the newspaper person’s perspective, many of the individual sections mean little in themselves and contain little narrative action. Realistic as Dracula is, individual letters only gain meaning and import in the sum of their parts, and the plot progresses very gradually and not in any obvious direction. Imagine their frustration at trying to write synopses for chapters to aid readers trying to follow the story day-by-day or week-by-week! The serials ultimately ran from as few as 22 installments to as many as 131 installments, over the course of a single month or strung out over 5-6 months, but all of them start strong and enthusiastic but dwindle in excitement as the story nears the final chapter.

The first four serials all use more or less the identical text, an abridged version of the 1897 Dracula text that removes several sections (probably for space) but does not re-write any sections or correct any errors, as the 1901 abridged edition does. Aside from omissions, the main textual variations are typesetting or transcription errors, some of which are howlers—in the 30 June 1928 entry of the St. Louis Globe-Democrat, for example, the installment ends with the words “hands of oGd!” However, the editors did embellish the text in other ways, often adding synopses or interjecting subsection titles, presumably to punch up the text. Some of these are fun in and of themselves, being occasionally barely literate and often showcasing how tricky it is to improve Stoker’s prose.

The serializations covered in this survey are as follows:

• Inter Ocean (7 May 1899-4 Jun 1899)
• Memphis Commercial Appeal (14 Jun 1899-13 Jul 1899)
• Charlotte Daily Observer (16 Jul 1899-10 Dec 1899)
• Buffalo New York Courier (19 Feb 1900-1 Apr 1900)
• Washington D.C. Times Herald (13 Sep 1917-21 Jan 1918)
• Des Moines Tribune (25 Nov 1921-10 Feb 1922)
• St. Louis Globe-Democrat (20 Feb 1928-10 Jul 1928)

It is notable that there is no overlap between the runs of these serializations. While we don’t have the contracts between the newspapers and Stoker (or his widow, or their agent), that would seem to be deliberate, so that each paper had exclusive rights to the story for a set period, which may have affected the sectioning as well. There is also no known newspaper serialization during the period when the Argosy pulp magazine serialized Dracula (9 parts, Jun 1926 – Feb 1927). Whether this was intentional or coincidental is unknown.

There may well be additional newspaper serializations of Dracula besides these; these are just the serials available via newspapers.com as of the time of this writing. Links will be to the full pages, as clips tend to come out illegible.

The wisdom of putting this story into the newspapers may be questioned, from a humanitarian point of view, for the oerdinary reader will have to take a nerve tonic after its perusal, especially if inclined to timidity, and the newspaper public numbers thousands of nervous and superstitious people, some of whom are imbued with the particular legendary lore from which the conception of “Dracula” originally sprang.

Inter Ocean (7 May 1899-4 Jun 1899)

The first serialization of Dracula was announced in the Inter Ocean on 3 May 1899, on page 5:

The title for the series was The Strange Story of Dracula, and ran for 28 installments from 7 May 1899 to 4 June 1899, or nearly a chapter a day. Although the text is taken from the 1897 edition, there has been some abridgement: Jonathan Harker’s prologue (“How these papers have been placed in sequence […]”) has been omitted, as well as parts of chapter V (“Dr. Seward’s Diary (kept in phonograph),” “Letter, Quincey P. Morris to Hon. Arthur Holmwood,” and “Telegram from Arthur Holmwood to Quincey P. Morris.”), chapter VII (Mina Murray’s journal for 10 August), the tail end of Dr. Seward’s Diary in chapters VIII and IX, Lucy Westenra’s Diary of 12 September at the beginning of chapter XI, a few sentences from Hennessy’s letter in chapter XII, both sections of Dr. Seward’s Diary and the Westminster Gazette excerpts in chapter XIII, parts of Mina Harker’s Journal in chapter XIV, etc. Chapters XV and XVI of the book have been excised completely, and as a consequence the chapter numbering was subsequently changes so that the story has 25 chapters instead of 27.

There are a number of small changes that represent either typographical or typesetting errors, too many to list, and a few that may represent editorial fiat. For example, in the Inter Ocean chapter XIV (chapter XVII in the book), “Mina Harker’s Journal” is rendered as “Nina Harker’s Journal” and in the Inter Ocean XXII (chapter XXIV in the book), “Dr. Seward’s Diary” is rendered as “Dr. Seward’s Story,” etc. The 15th installment (Sunday, 21 May 1899) provided readers with a summary of the preceding chapters; another summary appeared with the 22nd installment (Sunday, 28 May 1899).

Note: Until chapter XIV, chapter numbering is identical with the 1897 text, starting with Inter Ocean chapter XV the numbering changes. Equivalent chapters from the 1897 text are presented in parantheses.

Van Helsing announces that Lucy has been killed by a vampire, and holds counsel with the Harkers, Lucy’s fiancée and Dr. Seward as to means to rid the world of the monster. Dr. Van Helsing describes the character of the vampire, the conditions under which these damned souls are able to walk the earth and prey upon the living, and the means of destroying them. The boxes which the Count sent from Transylvania contain earth from the graveyard in which the vampire was originally buried, and these are necessary to afford a retreat from the monster. Armed with carnal and spiritual weapons, Van Helsing and the others search the Carfax house and are attacked by legions of rats. Some of the boxes of earth are gone. They are traced to their different houses in London which the Count has bought. Renfield protests his sanity and begs for release, to be allowed to go away to save his soul. He is found fatally injured in his room, and confesses that he has yielded to the temptations of the vampire, but rebelled when the monster attacked Mrs. Harker. The vampire is found at work on Mrs. Harker, and attempting to make her one of his own kind. Van Helsing drives him from the house with a consecrated wafer and he disappears in a mist. Mrs. Harker is in an agony of despair, but Van Helsing warns her that she must live until the monster is laid, unless she wishes to become like him. The vampire’s lair at Carfax is sterilized by placing in each box of earth a portion of the consecrated wafer. This operation is repeated at the Count’s other house in London, but one box of earth from Transylvania is not found. The Count appears at the house where the avengers are waiting for him, but escapes them. Mrs. Harker fears that she may become a vampire.

Memphis Commercial Appeal (14 Jun 1899-13 Jul 1899)

The serialization of Dracula in the Commercial Appeal for Memphis, Tennessee was announced in the 13 June 1899 issue, on page 1:

The title for the series was simply Dracula, and ran for 26 installments from 14 June 1899 to 13 July 1899. The text largely follows the Inter Ocean abridgement, including the chapter numbering, but without the two synopses and with some unique typesetting/typographical errors (for example, Chapter I opens with “Jonathan Barker’s Journal”) and slight changes to some titles (e.g. the Inter Ocean for Chapter XXII starts simply “This to Jonathan Harker” and in the Commercial Appeal Chapter XXII this is preceded by: “Dr, Seward’s Phonograph Diary, Spoken by Van Helsing. BY VAN HELSING.”)

One amusing incident was an announcement to readers that ran in place of Dracula on 4 and 5 July:

Publication resumed on 8 July. Given the text is nearly identical to that in the Inter Ocean, this raises the question: where did the Commercial Appeal get the text? Were they literally copying it from issues of the Inter Ocean, or did they receive it from the Inter Ocean editorial, or was there an approved newspaper abridgement that would have come from Stoker or whatever agency that brokered the sale?

Note: Until chapter XIV, chapter numbering is identical with the 1897 text, starting with Commercial Appeal chapter XV the numbering changes. Equivalent chapters from the 1897 text are presented in parantheses.

Charlotte Daily Observer (16 Jul 1899-10 Dec 1899)

The serialization of Dracula in the Daily Observer for Charlotte, North Carolina follows the Inter Ocean abridged text, including the chapter numbering but minus the synopses, and was published in 22 parts from 16 July 1899 to 10 December 1899. Inevitably there were numerous misspellings, either from transcription or typesetting, such as “Yours always, JOHN SEAWRD.” in Chapter IX, “DR. SEWARD’S DAIRY” in Chapter XI, “JONATHAN HARKER’S JOURNNAL” in Chapter XXVII, etc. The subtitle for the serial was “A Strong Story of the Vampire,” and as “By Bram Stoker, the Dramatic Critic, Theatrical Manager and Author of ‘Miss Betty,’ ‘Under the Sunset,’ and Other Books.” although Miss Betty (1898) is sometimes mistranscribed as “Miss Betsy,” “Miss Belay,” etc.

Buffalo New York Courier (19 Feb 1900-1 Apr 1900)

The serialization of Dracula in the Courier for Buffalo. New York follows the Inter Ocean abridged text, including the chapter numbering (more or less) but with its own synopses, and was published in 37 parts from 19 February 1900 to 1 April 1900. The synopses begin with part 3 and are a regular feature of the daily Dracula until the finale in parts 36 and 37. Given the relatively slow pace of Dracula, many of the synopses are identical from segment to segment.

Of interesting note is the copyright notices; the first nine installments read simply “Copyright Bram Stoker,” but starting with the 1 March 1900 entry, the copyright notice changes to:

This would reflect the first U.S. publication of Dracula by Doubleday & McClure in 1899.

Note: Until chapter XIV, chapter numbering is identical with the 1897 text, starting with Commercial Appeal chapter XV the numbering changes. Some chapters are unnumbered. Equivalent chapters from the 1897 text are presented in parantheses.

Washington D.C. Times Herald (13 Sep 1917-21 Jan 1918)

Bram Stoker died in 1912; subsequent serializations would have been authorized by his widow Florence. In the Washington, D.C. Times, the story was run as “Dracula, or The Vampire.” Unlike previous serials, this was for the most part the complete 1897 text, with only one notable cut: Jonathan Harker’s prologue. The spelling was also changed from British to American English (e.g. “labor” instead of “labour”), as well as some punctuation (many commas see to have been left out), and there are the typical typographical or typesetting errors. The text is augmented by a number of key phrases which were interjected as sub-headings, presumably to give a sense of action. Starting with the 8th installment on 20 September 1917, the editors also began to run a synopsis, which ran until the 47th installment on 29 October 1917, at which point apparently the editors gave up; most of the synopses are identical in wording.

These additions, the largely unabridged text, and the smaller size of each installment account for its length: this is the longest-running of the newspaper Dracula serials, published in 131 installments from 13 September 1917 to 21 January 1918.

Note: Many parts do not contain chapter headings. Equivalent chapters from the 1897 text are presented in parantheses.

Des Moines Tribune (25 Nov 1921-10 Feb 1922)

When the Tribune of Des Moines, Iowa ran Bram Stoker’s story, they did it under the title The Vampire. The text is the unabridged 1897 text, minus Jonathan Harker’s prologue. As with the Washington, D.C. Times Herald edition, the editors added both frequent interjections to break up the text (which cease after part 12), and starting from the second installment, original synopses (which cease after part 55). The story ran in 64 or 65 parts (one installment appears missing from the scans, but the numbering continues as if it did not run) from 25 November 1921 to 10 February 1922, parts often split between two pages in the same issue.

The production was initially lavish by newspaper serial standards; the first section ran on the front page, and included a message from the editor (“Old Timer”) to the readers:

Des Moines, Ia., Nov. 24, 1921.

Dear Tribune Readers:

                I honestly believe that “The Vampire,” which starts today in the Evening Tribune, is the greatest story this newspaper has ever published.

                Even more than that—I’ll stake my reputation, as a newspaper man of nearly twenty-five years’ experience, on the assertion that no one who reads the first two or three installments and really gets into the story will lay it aside until it has been completed in its entirety.

                You have heard of the stories that you sit up all night to read? I’ll venture the assertion that you will be unable to lay this one aside until you have followed the astounding tale of mystery, romance, adventure, love until “The End” is written.

                This is a challenge made in perfect faith, for I have read “The Vampire” and I feel to a certainty that you will be impressed as I have been.

                Sincerely,

                                Old Timer.

The story is also notable in that original illustrations were commissioned and published for the first two installments. The first appeared on 25 Nov 1921, page 14:

The second appeared on 26 Nov 1921, page 4, with a rare depiction of Dracula himself:

St. Louis Globe-Democrat (20 Feb 1928-10 Jul 1928)

The Globe-Democrat of St. Louis, Missouri ran Dracula as a serial in 121 parts, from 20 February to 10 July 1928. The text was the unabridged 1897 text, including Jonathan Harker’s prologue. Like other newspaper serials, they began to run an original synopsis with the 5th installment, which would continue to run through the 119th installment, though many of the synopses are identical or near-identical. As is typical, there were many typesetting or typographical errors throughout. One particularly noteworthy difference is a misprinted line inserted in part 85 (29 May 1928):

[…] lowering myself in the eyes of the lunatic:—

,izdam dDtTbb6ntoi shm shm sh

“And why with Enoch?”

Aesthetically, the most notable aspect of this serial is the lovely art deco header that ran on every segment:

Note: Many parts do not contain chapter headings. Equivalent chapters from the 1897 text are presented in parantheses.

Synopsis: Jonathan Harker, a Londoner, leaves Munich by train, bound for the castle of Count Dracula, a Transylvanian nobleman, in the wilds of one of the least known sections of the Carpathian Mountains. He finds himself in a country ridden with superstition and queer customs he does not understand. Natives in picturesque costumes greet the train at little stations on the way until he arrives at Bistritz, where he must take a coach for the remainder of his journey.                 The Hungarian Count has arranged for his guest’s comfort, and after a night in an inn, Harker leaves for the castle in a coach which Dracula has sent for him. Just before the coach departs, an old woman begs him not to go, but when he makes known that his decision is final, she places a rosary around his neck to protect him from evil.                 Accompanied by only the driver whom the Count has dispatched, Harker sets out for the castle. Strange things happen along the route. Wolves howl and a mysterious blue light appears intermittently at the side of the road and an uncanny feeling overcomes Harker. Wolves circle the coach, but are frightened away, and at midnight Harker arrives at an ancient castle deep in the mountains.                 Admitted through a ponderous iron door, he is greeted by a tall old man, clad in somber black, who introduces himself as Count Dracula. The Count bids him welcome and escorts him to a room where a table is spread for supper.
