Summary: An interesting reading
Comment: I am not a fan of Dracula's films, but I like the novel by Bram Stoker. This book makes a great effort to go further than the myth we have in mind. Not only because its historical research, but also for its interesting study of anthropology.

Death, blood, folkore and so. And also a very interesting bibliography. I think that with the Annotated Dracula by Wolf this is a keeper for those who are interested in vampyrs, but also is a very interesting book for those who like anthropology.

Summary: A profoundly facinating study of Bram Stoker's masterpiece.
Comment: I purchased this book at Whitby Abbey, one of Dracula's key settings, 4 years ago. It provides an outstanding companion to the novel as well as documenting the predecessors of the renown Count Dracula. The author presents his findings in a concise manner, never leaving the reader hanging or uninterested. I would recommend this book to any fan of the gothic novel, voracious readers, inquisitive English student/professor, or to those who wish to further their knowledge of the original Dracula and banish Hollywood's pollution from thier minds.
