The Book Alphabet Game, Again

Powers of Darkness: The Lost Version of Dracula by Bram Stoker, translated and rewritten by Valdimar Ásmundsson & Translated back to English by Hans De Roos

This book is a significantly different version of Dracula and was rewritten and published without the author’s permission in 1901. It appears to be a translation of an authorized Swiss translation to Icelandic (for the serialization) and reworked into the novel that followed the same year. It wasn't discovered outside Iceland until 1887 and no one realized it wasn't a straight up translation until 2010 or something like that.
