A couple other things, some pointers pointing out what is and isn't in this story:
Wifes Suicide and Dracula Inspiration: Chapter 14
Vlad Enters Bran Castle: Chapter 1, opening of the story (I don't know why this is such a big deal, it certainly isn't a big deal in the book.
The event depicted in the woodcut of Vlad dining while watching people get hacked up: Chapter 9
Mehmed II praises Janos Hunyadi: Chapter 6
Vlad beheaded: Chapter 19
Some of the famous short stories are also depicted in this book but not all. The ones depicted include:
The man with a Keen Sense of Smell (chapter 8, the most gruesome moment in the story BTW.)
The 2 monks (chapter 11)
Nailing of hats to heads (chapter 11, there is actually some humor involved)
Brave Merchant (chapter 2)
I also think the event where he killed all of the beggars is in their too but I can't seam to find it. There is also a brief moment just before Vlads first encounter with Istvan Bathory when Matthias Corvinus mentions the event when Vlad killed his second wife for lying about being with child.
People, this is a WAR STORY. This is about Vladislav IIIs military life. If you are looking for some story that focuses on Vlads connection to Dracula, then look somewhere else. This story contains no sexuality, no profanity and the word: "Vampire" is used only once in the Epilogue.
BTW.
If you don't know what Janos Hunyadi and Belgrade have to do with Vladislav III and what their significance is, this story will make it clear to you and leave you begging for more on the subject.
