It seems like it is based on a combination of an earlier draft of the novel and the translator’s own ideas, because it contains things that were in Stoker’s notes but not in the final manuscript, and a lot of Scandinavian mythology is added. It is more overtly erotic and political as well.

    Adding to OPs note:

    In Makt Myrkranna, Dracula comes to England not alone, but rather with a deaf-dumb woman who is apparently his slave and together with another beautiful aristocratic female vampire, Josephine, who flaunts her sexuality.[20] Josephine is described as having her “neck and upper chest revealed” while wearing a “necklace of glittering diamonds”, whom Harker finds “something indecent” about, despite his evident attraction to her.
