Unreliable Narrator
 Sherlock Holmes vs. Dracula / int_1869b4b1
comment
Unreliable Narrator: Watson accuses Bram Stoker of this in omitting the key roles played by him and Holmes in preventing Dracula's flight to America to the point of fudging dates. He speculates that Van Helsing was deliberately trying to promote himself as an expert in vampires, though he does admit that Holmes disagrees with him on this.

Direct Line to the Author: According to Estleman's (fictional) prologue, he found the crumbling manuscript down the side of a case he bought at an auction of Watson's personal effects.

Superman Stays Out of Gotham
 Sherlock Holmes vs. Dracula / int_70489c17
comment
Superman Stays Out of Gotham: Van Helsing has no interest in allying with Holmes, feeling Holmes is too much of a public figure for this work. He's still grateful for Holmes' assistance in stopping Dracula's escape to America.

Right for the Wrong Reasons
 Sherlock Holmes vs. Dracula / int_83cef301
comment
Right for the Wrong Reasons: When hunting for the "Bloofer Lady", Holmes correctly identifies a connection to the Demeter due to the similar neck wounds in both cases, and also deduces that there are two different culprits involved. However, this deduction was initially based on the idea that the individual responsible for the deaths on the Demeter was a very strong figure and such strength would come with a considerable size that would prevent the man responsible disguising himself as a woman, as Holmes hadn't yet realised that he was dealing with vampires.

Our Vampires Are Different
 Sherlock Holmes vs. Dracula / int_9f63d4f1
comment
Our Vampires Are Different: It's explicitly stated that sunlight isn't harmful to Dracula but just deprives him of the advantages he possesses at night, such as needing to don a disguise to enter a hospital rather than infiltrate the building using his more elaborate powers.

comment
Outside-Context Problem: Naturally the idea of facing the supernatural is a surprising one for Holmes and Watson, although Watson is bemused that Holmes is so quick to turn to superstition as an explanation for the current situation.

Villain Over for Dinner: Dracula at one point comes directly to Baker Street just to observe Sherlock Holmes, even having a relatively polite conversation with the detective.

 Sherlock Holmes vs. Dracula / int_f8e010ce
comment
Evil Cannot Comprehend Good: Dracula is genuinely confused as to why Watson went to so much trouble to help Holmes oppose him, to the extent that he went to considerable risk to confront Watson in hospital and ask why he took part in recent events.
