Notes
- The Mina Harker portion of this story takes place on 19 November, establishing it as being set very shortly after the main narrative of Dracula, which ends on 6 November.
- It's mentioned that the Mina Harker portion of this story takes place concurrently with the film The Brides of Dracula.
- The idea of Count Dracula surviving the events of Dracula, taking over the British Empire, and making vampirism an acceptable and fashionable condition is similar to the premise of Kim Newman's Anno Dracula series. Other elements, set in space, are a reference to Hideuki Kikuchi's Vampire Hunter D series.
