false <![CDATA[The New Annotated Dracula]]> http://photo.goodreads.com/books/1255962234m/3326895.jpg 3326895 1 Cause for international celebrationthe most important and complete edition of Dracula in decades. In his first work since his best-selling The New Annotated Sherlock Holmes, Leslie S. Klinger returns with this spectacular, lavishly illustrated homage to Bram Stoker's Dracula. With a daring conceit, Klinger accepts Stoker's contention that the Dracula tale is based on historical fact. Traveling through two hundred years of popular culture and myth as well as graveyards and the wilds of Transylvania, Klinger's notes illuminate every aspect of this haunting narrative (including a detailed examination of the original typescript of Dracula, with its shockingly different ending, previously unavailable to scholars). Klinger investigates the many subtexts of the original narrativefrom masochistic, necrophilic, homoerotic, "dentophilic," and even heterosexual implications of the story to its political, economic, feminist, psychological, and historical threads. Employing the superb literary detective skills for which he has become famous, Klinger mines this 1897 classic for nuggets that will surprise even the most die-hard Dracula fans and introduce the vampire-prince to a new generation of readers.Two-color throughout; 35 color and 400 black-and-white illustrations. 6164540 13 10 2008 The New Annotated Dracula total:81|5:32|4:29|3:18|2:2|1:0| 81 334 185 24 4 0 false false Tue Jan 06 00:00:00 -0800 2009 Thu Jan 08 13:29:04 -0800 2009 Thu Jan 08 13:59:15 -0800 2009 Dracula so much as the annotations: a collection of historical, geographical, critical, pop-culture, and other references (including photographs of the landscapes mentioned in the novel and strikingly-illustrated cover...more...]]> 4 0 false false Sat Jan 10 00:00:00 -0800 2009 Sun Dec 21 09:44:30 -0800 2008 Sun Jan 11 13:02:51 -0800 2009
Well, I am officially a DRACULA expert so if you have questions please ask. ;)

Let me start by saying I did something dreadful...I watched the movie before reading the book! Yes, I rarely ever do this and this last experience reminded me why I should not.
