It is a novel, although Bram Stoker did do a little historical research (but only a little), and it is written through a log/journal sort of thing.

It is a novel. His inspiration for writing it was a real person though named Vlad Dracul III.

It’s a novel. Absolute 100% complete and utter fiction.
Why would you ask that though? It’s about a vampire! I can only assume you haven’t read it. I’d recommend it; it’s exciting, and tense, and creepy, but after about 10 pages you’ll see how there’s no way it could ever possibly be real.

A novel and the example of a great vampire tome.

it’s a fiction novel. if it were non-fiction, then it would be real and most likely a true story, or based on a true story…and vampires aren’t real.
Non-fiction is an account or representation of a subject which is presented as fact.
Fiction is a branch of literature which deals, in part or in whole, with temporally contrafactual events (events that are not true at the time of writing).

It’s a novel & it’s fiction but the main character Dracula is based on a historical 16th century Romanian prince known as Vlad the Impaler. He was the son of Vlad Dracul who received the title Dracul (Romanian for Dragon) as it was an order of Knights (Order of the Dragon) created to defend Christianity from the Ottoman Turks. Vlad the Impaler was called "Draculea", often pronounced Dracula, because it means "Son of Dracul" Vlad Draculea was called the Impaler because it was his favourite form of execution; to "impale" people on a large wooden stake. Transylvania is part of Romania & "Draculea" ruled over it. Bram Stoker used this man to add a touch of realism to his fiction.

It is a novel but it is somewhat based on a real person.
Vlad Ţepeş aka Vlad the Impaler or simply Dracula
His Romanian surname "Drăculea" means "Son of the dragon" and is derived from his father’s title, Vlad the Dragon ; the latter was a member of the Order of the Dragon, created in Serbia prior to the battle of Kosovo (1389), and re-instituted by Emperor Sigismund in 1408. The word "Dracul" means "the Devil" in modern Romanian but in Vlad’s day also meant "dragon" and derives from the Latin word "Draco", also meaning "dragon". The suffix "-lea" can be translated as "son of".
