Powers of Darkness (Icelandic: Makt myrkranna) is a 1901 Icelandic gothic horror novel by Valdimar Ásmundsson that claims to be a translation of the English-language novel Dracula by Bram Stoker. Powers of Darkness was in fact based on an earlier adaptation of Dracula—the Swedish adaptation by "A—e" (Swedish title: Mörkrets makter), specifically the shortened version. Both adaptations differ significantly from Dracula and are believed to have used an early draft of Stoker's novel as partial basis for the translation.
