Bram Stoker’s Dracula is the prototypical horror novel,
inspiration for the world’s seemingly limitless fascination
with vampires. Though many have tried to replicate Stoker’s
horror classic—in books, television shows, and movies—only
the 1931 Bela Lugosi film bore the Stoker family’s support.
Until now.
Written by a direct descendant of Bram
Stoker and a well- known Dracula historian, Dracula: The
Un-Dead is a bone- chilling sequel based on Bram
Stoker’s own handwritten notes for characters and plot
threads excised from the original edition. Written with the
blessing and cooperation of many members of the Stoker
family, Dracula: The Un-Dead begins in 1912,
twenty-five years after Dracula “crumbled into dust.” Van
Helsing’s protégé, Dr. Seward, is now a disgraced morphine
addict obsessed with stamping out evil across Europe.
Meanwhile, an unknowing Quincey Harker, son of Jonathon and
Mina, leaves law school for the stage, only to stumble upon
the troubled production of Dracula, directed and produced by
Bram Stoker himself.
The play plunges Quincey into
the world of his parents’ terrible secrets, but before he
can confront them he experiences evil in a way he had never
imagined. One by one, the band of heroes that defeated
Dracula a quarter-century ago is being hunted down. Could it
be that Dracula somehow survived their attack and is seeking
revenge? Or is there another, far more sinister force at
work whose relentless purpose is to destroy anything and
anyone associated with Dracula?
Fast-paced, full of
suspense, and rich with historical detail, Dracula: The
Un-Dead is the answer to every vampire fanatic’s prayers.

I've always been a Dracula fan and Bram Stoker's is my very favorite. (LuAnn Morgan 12:45pm November 1, 2009)
I look forward in reading this. It will be interesting to see how a descendant of Bram Stoker's adds his on flair to Dracula. (Tracey Dent 6:06am November 1, 2009)
