  <description><![CDATA[<strong>At last--the sequel to Bram Stoker's classic novel Dracula, written by his direct descendant and a Dracula historian</strong><br/><br/> Bram Stoker's <em>Dracula</em> is the prototypical horror novel, an 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. <br/><br/> <em>Dracula The Un-Dead</em> is a bone-chilling sequel based on Bram Stoker's own handwritten notes for characters and plot threads excised from the original edition. <em>Dracula The Un-Dead</em> begins in 1912, twenty-five years after Dracula &quot;crumbled into dust.&quot; Van Helsing's protégé, Dr. Jack Seward, is now a disgraced morphine addict obsessed with stamping out evil across Europe. Meanwhile, an unknowing Quincey Harker, the grown son of Jonathan and Mina, leaves law school for the London stage, only to stumble upon the troubled production of &quot;Dracula,&quot; directed and produced by Bram Stoker himself. <br/><br/> 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 their another force at work whose relentless purpose is to destroy anything and anyone associated with Dracula? <br/><br/> <em>Dracula The Un-Dead</em> is deeply researched, rich in character, thrills and scares, and lovingly crafted as both an extension and celebration of one of the most classic popular novels in literature.]]></description>

    <![CDATA[<strong>At last, the first Stoker family– supported sequel to one of the bestselling and most influential novels of all time</strong><br/><br/> 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.<br/><br/> Written by a direct descendant of Bram Stoker and a well- known Dracula historian, <em>Dracula: The Un-Dead</em> 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, <em>Dracula: The Un-Dead</em> 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.<br/><br/> 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?<br/><br/> Fast-paced, full of suspense, and rich with historical detail, <em>Dracula: The Un-Dead</em> is the answer to every vampire fanatic’s prayers.]]>

    <body><![CDATA[I received a review copy of this book from the publisher. &quot;Dracula The Un-Dead&quot; is a historical horror novel set in 1912 in France and England. It is a &quot;sequel&quot; to the original &quot;Dracula&quot; novel written by Bram Stoker. Overall, I enjoyed this fast-paced novel and thought ...<a href="http://www.goodreads.com/review/show/76215650">more...</a>]]></body>

    <![CDATA[<strong>At last, the first Stoker family– supported sequel to one of the bestselling and most influential novels of all time</strong><br/><br/> 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.<br/><br/> Written by a direct descendant of Bram Stoker and a well- known Dracula historian, <em>Dracula: The Un-Dead</em> 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, <em>Dracula: The Un-Dead</em> 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.<br/><br/> 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?<br/><br/> Fast-paced, full of suspense, and rich with historical detail, <em>Dracula: The Un-Dead</em> is the answer to every vampire fanatic’s prayers.]]>

Meanwhile, an unknowing Quincey Harker, the grown son of Jonathan and Mina, leaves law school for the London stage, only to stumble upon the troubled production of &quot;Dracula,&quot; directed and produced by Bram Stoker himself. <br/><br/> 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 their another force at work whose relentless purpose is to destroy anything and anyone associated with Dracula? <br/><br/> <em>Dracula The Un-Dead</em> is deeply researched, rich in character, thrills and scares, and lovingly crafted as both an extension and celebration of one of the most classic popular novels in literature.]]>

    <![CDATA[<strong>At last--the sequel to Bram Stoker's classic novel Dracula, written by his direct descendant and a Dracula historian</strong><br/><br/> Bram Stoker's <em>Dracula</em> is the prototypical horror novel, an 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. <br/><br/> <em>Dracula The Un-Dead</em> is a bone-chilling sequel based on Bram Stoker's own handwritten notes for characters and plot threads excised from the original edition. <em>Dracula The Un-Dead</em> begins in 1912, twenty-five years after Dracula &quot;crumbled into dust.&quot; Van Helsing's protégé, Dr. Jack Seward, is now a disgraced morphine addict obsessed with stamping out evil across Europe. Meanwhile, an unknowing Quincey Harker, the grown son of Jonathan and Mina, leaves law school for the London stage, only to stumble upon the troubled production of &quot;Dracula,&quot; directed and produced by Bram Stoker himself. <br/><br/> 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 their another force at work whose relentless purpose is to destroy anything and anyone associated with Dracula? <br/><br/> <em>Dracula The Un-Dead</em> is deeply researched, rich in character, thrills and scares, and lovingly crafted as both an extension and celebration of one of the most classic popular novels in literature.]]>

    <body><![CDATA[Disaster.  This book is a total train wreck - even though there are aspects that are awful, you cannot divert your eyes because you're wondering HOW it will blow up.
