He definitely is the kind of person who thinks he’s always in on the joke, and seeing him undergo the paradigm shift of realizing that there are living-dead among us is super fun. We begin the story with him trying to steal from a high-profile children’s charity auction, so there’s that, but ultimately, I like to think of him as a good guy trying to be bad. He calls himself a scoundrel and a fakester, and is the combination of the traditional European Gentleman Thief and the American conman. A Group of con men team up with Rosalyn “Sledge” Van Helsing (grand daughter and last remaining relative of Abraham Van Helsing and vampire-hunter in her own right), to steal a mythical treasure hidden in Dracula’s castle-what could possibly go wrong with that plan?!įS: What can you tell us about the rag-tag group of characters found in Silver and how their personalities move your story? Stephan Franck: Silver is the continuation of the original Bram Stoker Dracula universe, set 40 years after the novel, into the noir/pulp era of the 1930’s. Franck spoke with me recently about the idea behind Silver, staying true to the world that Stoker established, and what to expect from his Kickstarter campaign.įreakSugar: Before we discuss your Kickstarter campaign, for folks who are unfortunate enough never have to been exposed to the book before, what’s the conceit behind Silver?

The conceit sees an Ocean’s 11-esque caper that has con men and women eyeing the ultimate score: treasure from Dracula’s castle.

You’ve seen adaptations and re-imaginings of author Bram Stoker’s seminal work Dracula, but never quite like this.
