More Praise for Dacre Stoker and His New Novel Dracul- One of PW's Top 10 SF, Fantasy & Horror Novels of Fall 2018- One of Crime by the Book's Most-Anticipated Books of Late 2018 "Reading
Dracul is like watching a classic vampire film. Bram Stoker lives! Dracula lives! Horror lives on nearly every page. A terrifying read that gave me hours of fun."--R.L. Stine, author of the Goosebumps and Fear Street series
"Brilliant.
Dracul pumps fresh blood into the vampire genre by telling the story of the man who started it all--Bram Stoker. And what a story! A grand adventure that contains all the literary playfulness and mounting dread of the original
Dracula. It gave me chills."--Riley Sager, author of
Final Girls and
The Last Time I Lied "Something wonderfully wicked this way comes in the guise of a prequel to the granddaddy of vampire lore...Succumb to its horrific charms."--
Family Circle "The prose is modern, energetic, and easy to read.
Dracul reveals not only Dracula's 'true' origin, but Bram Stoker's as well. More than just a Dracula novel, it's a great addition to the entire vampire genre."--SF Reader
"A big book that will no doubt be a hit among monster-movie and horror lit fans--and for good reason."--
Kirkus Reviews "Bram Stoker fans and scholars will find this a satisfying exploration of his legacy."--
Publishers Weekly "Sheds light on the original characters and author. Adding just the right touch of suspense increases the pace and ratchets up the tension."--
