The best of Saberhagen's Dracula series, IMO.

Poor Vlad, he's so misunderstood. That Stoker guy got it all wrong. So Vlad corners two of Mina Harker's descendants in a car during a snowstorm, and tells them HIS side of the story. Best of all, his soliloquy is captured on tape! ( )

Reading this book (especially after reading Bram Stoker’s Dracula) was a pure joy. Written from Dracula’s perspective, this is a counter-account to the original story, and you won’t believe how different the truth is :)

Dracula retells the story to a descendent of Jonathan and Mina Harker, explaining all the strange goings-on from Stoker’s book. I don’t want to ruin it, so I’ll just HIGHLY recommend it. Many many many passages are quoted from the original story to support Dracula’s point of view, and it was masterfully written. This is, perhaps, one of Saberhagen’s best works. And I’ve read a lot of his books.

100% recommended, get yourself a copy and read it as soon as you can. ( )

Booorrriiinnnggg! ( )

I read this book several years ago, but remember enjoying the author's spin on Count Dracula, and his relationship with Mina Harker. A fun, satisfying read. ( )
