PCCLD invites our community to step into the shadows and explore one of the most enduring stories in literary history.
This year’s program centers on Bram Stoker’s classic novel Dracula, paired with its modern prequel, Dracul, co‑written by Dacre Stoker, Bram Stoker’s great‑grandnephew. Together, these two works bridge past and present, offering readers a rich blend of gothic storytelling, mystery, and imagination.
Coming soon.

All Pueblo Reads Kickoff
Exhibits
During Dacre Stoker’s visit, PCCLD will host two loaned exhibits from the Stoker estate:
- An exhibit highlighting Bram Stoker’s life and literary legacy
- An exhibit featuring rare first editions and volumes from Bram Stoker’s personal library
These exhibits offer a rare opportunity for the community to engage with literary history in a meaningful, tangible way.
