"Dracula" by Bram Stoker is set in the late 19th century, primarily in the 1890s. The novel's events take place in various locations including London, Whitby, and Transylvania.

They're just vampires. Simple as.
Whitby is closely associated with Dracula because Bram Stoker who wrote the original novel spent time in the town while on holiday there during the summer of 1890. While he was there he was researching and writing a novel that would eventually become Dracula. The most important piece of information Stoker found while staying in Whitby was in a document he found in Whitby library, An Account of the Principalities of Wallacia and Moldavia by William Wilkinson. This document contained a reference to a 15th Century prince who had earned himself the nickname 'Dracula'. In a way, Whitby can be seen as Dracula's birth place. Not only did Stoker spend time in Whitby himself, he also set a significant part of Dracula in the town and used it as the place Dracula first steps ashore in England in the form of a big black dog which jumps from a ship called The Demeter which had run aground in Whitby. If you are interested in Dracula, you can take a trip to Whitby and see it all for yourself!
Many different cultures have legends of bloodsucking creatures. Specifically, legends of human beings who rise after death to drink the blood of the living go back for centuries in various parts of Europe. The "modern" version of the vampire -- a being who sleeps during daylight and is awake at night, is capable of appearing "normal" but can also hypnotize, take other forms, control lower animals and the elements, etc. -- was established most powerfully by Bram Stoker's novel "Dracula." Many films and books have elaborated on this basic type.
As you should already know, Vampires don't exist. The twilight series is simply a take on Vampires. Depending on who is depicting the Vampire, it may or may not have superpowers.

Transylvania, mythological homeland of vampires.
Yes. Vampires can smell menstruation. Vampires will often sneak into public female restrooms, take the tampons out of the receptacles, and suck on them like lollipops.
