PETER TREMAYNE

Dracula’s Chair

PETER TREMAYNE IS THE PSEUDONYM of historian and Celtic scholar Peter Berresford Ellis, who has published numerous works on Celtic history and cultures including A Dictionary of Irish Mythology and its companion volume A Dictionary of Celtic Mythology.

As Tremayne, he has published many novels in the horror and heroic fantasy genres, often concentrating on tales based on themes from Celtic mythology. However, he is best known today for his series of historical murder mysteries featuring a 7th Century Irish religieuse, Sister Fidelma, as his sleuth, who has to work under the ancient Irish law system with her companion Brother Eadulf, an Irish-trained Saxon monk. Whispers of the Dead, the fourteenth book in the series, has recently been published, and the series sells in nine European languages. There is even an International Sister Fidelma Society based in the United States but with members in over twelve countries.

Although Tremayne has published nearly eighty short stories, ‘Dracula’s Chair’ was only his third.

“It was originally written as an epilogue to my novel The Revenge of Dracula” he explains, “the second volume in my ‘Dracula’ trilogy which also includes Dracula Unborn (a.k.a. Bloodright) and Dracula, My Love. I decided to omit it on the grounds that it was ‘artistic overkill’ and it was first published in an anthology in the late 1970s.”

Tremayne’s Dracula novels were last published in paperback as an omnibus volume by Signet in 1993 and have recently been optioned again for filming.
