Cheryl Gardner gave to: DRACULAS by Jack Kilborn	My rating:
Let me preface this review by saying, it's not really a novel. It's more of a B Horror novella. Fifty percent of the book is author interviews and advertising excerpts, so if you are looking for a well-developed Bram Stoker type literary monster nove...more
