2025: Draculania, a genderswapped remake of Bram Stoker’s classic tale is being filmed in Yorkshire
The Dog Sitter Detective Plays Dead
What you need to know before your trail
Gwinny Tuffel is on location in the misty Yorkshire Dales filming a small part in Draculania, a genderswapped remake of Bram Stoker’s classic tale, when life begins to imitate art a little too closely. One of the cast members is found dead inside a locked trailer, with a stake through their heart.
With a prima donna in the starring role, filming is already facing delays, while Gwinny is being run ragged by Lily, the Jack Russell terrier she’s looking after for a friend in hospital. Against the backdrop of Hendale Hall with its own vampire legend, a flesh-and-blood killer has struck. Will Gwinny be able to find the murderer before the production or any further victims are cut?

Yorkshire Dales
The village and hall in the novel – Hendale – are both fictional but as the author explained, it’s not always the done thing to have real locations when you’re writing about murders.
There are lots of fine halls around the Yorkshire Dales where you could visit and imagine you’re in the middle of the filming of Draculania.
Dracula was of course set in the Yorkshire town of Whitby.
