Add to basketPaperback. THE RONDO HATTON AWARDS BOOK OF THE YEAR 2021! From the haunted mind of Christopher R. Gauthier and publisher of the macabre, Arcane Shadows Press, comes Dracula Never Dies: The Revenge of Bela Vorlock. Follow Bela Vorlock from his tragic beginning as a child, to his uprise as the premier horror star of Hollywood's golden age, to his days of darkness in the 1950's . when the classic horror film had fallen victim to the atomic age. Giant spiders, 50 ft tall women, and the teenage drive-in craze that follows would cement Bela's faltering career into a deep and dark hole. Until Bela Vorlock metaphorically rises from the grave to find vengeance on those who have betrayed, he and his Hollywood career. Bela Vorlock will have his revenge! REVIEWS "For the legions of gothic horror fans who are convinced they are already "supp'd full with horrors," a delightful surprise awaits them in Dracula Never Dies: The Revenge of Bela Vorlock. Author Christopher R. Gauthier has woven a new tapestry of terror replete with brooding gothic images and cascading plot twists that draws on earlier vampire tales, but adds a distinctly Hollywood gothic dimension to them. Gauthier creates a surprisingly new intersection between Hollywood and gothic with clever "multi-dimensional" characters and a horrific denouement that borders on Draculean dementia. A page-turner in every respect for those who want to continue "supping full with horrors!" -Robert Cremer, Author, "Lugosi: The Man Behind The Cape" "Christopher R. Gauthier spins the grimly compelling tale of Bela Vorlock like a skillfully-woven spider web, ensnaring the reader with poetic prose, in a memorably-morose ambiance. From Vorlock's blasphemous origins to his towering artistic achievements of the 1930's to his dreadful recompense in the apocalyptic environment of the 1956 Hollywood scene, all along the wicked way we meet the great loves and hates of Bela Vorlock's life, with characters as unique as they are unforgettable. Reverential and remarkable, affecting and atmospheric, Dracula Never Dies: The Revenge of Bela Vorlock is an outstanding achievement and a memorable exercise in the macabre." -Peter H. Brothers, Author, "No Sympathy for the Vampire: The Film World of Bela Lugosi" "I enjoyed re-reading Dracula Never Dies: The Revenge of Bela Vorlock, for reasons more than Christopher R. Gauthier's elegant, lyrical and passionate prose. Every time I read this tale of a Bela Lugosi-type protagonist, I am drawn to a location and scene I never had experiences with, but it always tugs at my heart; midnight at a battered post World War II theatre, a shabby stage, a proud thespian performing his art to a rowdy, unappreciative bunch. Bela Vorlock enduring catcalls, maintains a dignity that no one can dent. It's a magnificent tale genre fans will treasure. Even better, Gauthier's work will create new fans to Bela Lugosi." -Doug Gibson, Journalist at The Standard Examiner, and reviewer at Plan 9 Crunch: All About Cult Films "Author and poet, Christopher R. Gauthier, has completed the amazing task of blending his and Bela Lugosi's tragedies and triumphs together in a novel of epic proportions. The poetic verse, page after page, will leave the reader entranced, equal to the works of a master hypnotist. Gauthier's lifeblood bleeds upon the pages, nourishing the novel with poetic sadness and grace. I am greatly looking forward to future volumes of this tremendous triumph". -Brad A. Braddock, Author, "Memoirs of Murder: A prequel to the 1932 classic, White Zombie" This item is printed on demand.
