"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 "The narrative moves fairly quickly,
pulling readers into this thrilling tale, with twists that keep the
pages turning, even late into the night. ...A strong pick for fans
of classic gothic tales, such as Dracula, but also good for anyone
who appreciates gripping historical novels, including those by
Carlos Ruiz Zafón."--Library Journal (starred review) "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."--Booklist "A terrifying and
compelling prequel that reveals how a young Bram Stoker confronted
evil to craft a masterpiece."--Library Journal
"A compelling, deep, dark drama about Dracula's origin. Even I had
to keep the lights on when reading this book!"--John Saul, author
of Suffer the Children
"An exhilarating fever dream of creeping dread and dark adventure.
Reading Dracul is like stepping into a time machine and traveling
back to a shadowy landscape ruled by nightmares. I devoured it in
two sittings and was delighted and chilled with every turn of the
page. You will be, too."--Richard Chizmar, co-author of Gwendy's
Button Box "Scary as hell. Gothic as decay. Dracul will have you
checking over your shoulder, under your bed, and up on the ceiling,
too. All while wondering about the contents of every crate and
oblong box you see."--Josh Malerman, author of Bird Box
"Whatever fiendish bargain Stoker and Barker struck to resurrect
the voice of Bram Stoker with such authenticity and aplomb, it was
worth it, at least to their mere mortal readers. Dracul is a genius
and fevered nightmare of Gothic madness, each page seeping with
ominous dread and escalating horror. It is a prequel more than just
worthy of the original novel--it is sure to be an undying classic
of its own, haunting, terrifying and entertaining generations to
come."--Eric Rickstad, author of What Remains of Her and The Silent
Girls
