Do you remember Bram Stoker's Dracula? Do you remember Francis Coppola's take on Dracula?
When I came across this title it definitely caught my interest. A sequel to Dracula written by a decendant of Bram Stoker. I purchased it and read it. I do reccomend it! If you are a fan of Bram Stoker's Dracula read this.
This book picks up in 1912, 25 years after Dracula had been defeated. Mina and Jonathan have a son who is at University. Jonathan has inheritied a business and is trying to get through everyday life with many lingering personal demons. Mina is the socialite wife she had wanted to be. Their son Qunicey has left Law School and has all intentions of staying as far away from his father's business as possible. He can see his father's unhappiness and does want to follow in those footsteps. Quincey's sights are on London Theater. He comes across a production of Dracula, directed by Barm Stoker himself. The production of Dracula starts to sound a little too familar to Quincey. Stories he heard growing up are coming to light. Terrible secrets of his parents past are revealed and the group that had defeated Dracula are now being hunted down one by one. Including Van Helsing's protege and family friend, Jack Seward. Could Dracula be alive?
As I read, I could not help but think of Francis Copploa's Dracula. I pictured Mina as Winona Ryder and Jonathan as Keanu Reeves. I even had someone come to mind for Quincey. I will not say who I pictured until I hear from you!
I thought this book was very interesting there are parts that are gory and will keep you reading to see what happens next. I am glad I came across this book and hope you will give it a try, too.
Dracula -The Undead, is written with notes on characters and plots by Bram Stoker himself.
Have a Bite and I look forward to hearing from you! V V
