Read in September, 2008
I just reread this. Fast read & pretty good. The old friend of the family is a vampire, but unlike the sex-ridden paranormal romances, this one is more of a straight line from Stoker's original to 'modern' (it was written in the 60's, I think) day.

While this is the third book in the series, you can easily start the series here. Reading the first two doesn't add a lot. I would suggest reading this one before going on to any of the others.

I'm using this one as the placeholder for Saberhagen's Dracula series, because it was the first one I read. This was the only other vampire series beside the Saint-Germain books where I would automatically buy new titles when I saw them.

Dracula is helping out the descendents of Mira Harker (you'll remember her from the original Dracula story.)
