I love vampire fiction, and Dracula remains for me one of the most fascinating figures -- both seductive and repulsive. This collection serves up interesting tales about the most (in)famous vampire, sometimes putting him in a sympathetic light and other times depicting him as a beast.
An anthology of short stories about, as the title says, Dracula in London.

There is an interesting variety here, in the perspective the story is written from, in ideas about Dracula, and in who he interacts with. Van Helsing shows up several times, and Lucy, Nikola Tesla appears too, as well as Bram Stoker himself. Throughout these stories, Dracula is cruel, kind, seductive, insane, and imaginary.

Dracula in London is easily one of the most consistent anthologies I've read recently when it comes to the quality and enjoyability of the stories.

Not really a short story fan, but husband tossed this my way, with an "in case you're interested" so I took it. Some good authors ("name brand") in the collection. I prefer my Dracula served Stoker style, though.
