Dacre Stoker

I very much enjoyed 'The Lost Journal of Bram Stoker' - it was an incredibly fascinating insight into what made the author tick and who and what his influences where.

(for those un-enlightened souls, Countess Bathory was the basis of the 1971 film "Countess Dracula" starring Ingrid Pitt) Dacre and Holt manage to pull off, what could be considered, the impossible - crafting a plausible and enlightened sequel to one of the most popular of all horror stories of all time. ..read more

I don't usually read vampire books, especially all the modern urban fantasy ones, but 'Dracula: the Un-Dead' is very different - it is the official sequel to Bram Stoker's 'Dracula' the book that started it all - and written by his great grand nephew, Dacre Stoker with Ian Holt!
