Description:

The authoritative sequel to Bram Stoker's original horror classic.

A quarter of a century after
Count Dracula "crumbled into dust," Quincey Harker-the son of Jonathan and Mina Harker-leaves law school to
pursue a career on stage, only to stumble upon the troubled production of Dracula, directed and produced
by Bram Stoker himself.

As the play plunges Quincey into the world of his parents' terrible secrets, death
begins to stalk the original band of heroes that defeated Dracula a quarter-century ago. Could it be that the count
survived and is now seeking revenge? Or is there another, far more sinister force at work whose relentless purpose
is to destroy anything and anyone associated with Dracula, the most notorious vampire of all time?

From Publishers Weekly

In this sequel to Bram Stoker's Dracula, his great-grandnephew offers one of the rowdiest revisionist treatments of the most influential vampire novel ever written. In 1912, as Stoker labors to adapt Dracula for the stage, its characters are dying gruesomely all over London. It turns out they are as real as Stoker himself, who learned their secret story on the sly and took creative liberties when turning it into his popular penny dreadful. Dracula's true story involves the passing of his blood line through Mina Harker to her son; a malignant Dr. Van Helsing, who Scotland Yard suspects had a hand in the murders attributed to Jack the Ripper; and the exploits of a 16th-century vampire countess, Dracula's former lover, who cuts a bloody swath through London seeking the survivors of Dracula's last stand in Transylvania. Energetically paced and packed with outrageously entertaining action, this supernatural thriller is a well-needed shot of fresh blood for the Dracula mythos. (Oct.)
