Abstract:Focusing on Dracula's metaphoric East-to-West apportionment and transportation of "land"—his conveyance of fifty large crates of imported earth to the former colonial centre—this essay examines Stoker's anatomization of nineteenth-century cross-Atlantic imperialism, highlighting his on-the-mark prefigurement and critique of the present global immigration crisis and the "terror" it inherits as well as enlists.
