Review Summary: Some stories are good |
Date: 2007-10-24 |
|
| |
Details: Some stories are really good and i agree with one reviewer's comment about multiple personality problems due to multiple authors.
Stories where Dracula rewards the poor lady for hiding his coffin from dracula hunters is very touching.
Overall a good 1 hour read.
Not much thrilling like original Dracula or even Dracula's Guest... but OK. |

Review Summary: The Count Would be Spinning in His Grave |

Details: We have 16 short stories based on/inspired by the legendary book by Bram Stoker. Each of these stories takes place in a similar setting; namely London of the 1890s. Most of these stories are medicore at best, some of them downright laughable. Dracula acts as some sort of benign Sherlock Holmes helping unfortunates with his "investigations" and further aids them escape authorities or killers in some cases. In one story he even performs in a play on stage! The count singing on stage? How out of character is all this? I found many of these stories to be so far-fetched from the spirit of the original. Some authors make the Count & certain historic figures cross paths, such as Prince Edward (of Wales) And even Mr. Stoker himself, but some of these writers did NOT do their homework. While not important to the overall story, it is implied Nikola Tesla is Hungarian, while he was in fact of Serbian descent. Also, Aleister Crowley was not from Scotland, but from mid-England (Warwickshire), among other things. That's how accurate some of these writers are. The two stories that stood out were Judith Proctor's tale "Dear Mr. Bernard Shaw," where a young actress named Ellen Terry writes a letter about how a foriegn nobleman comes to the theater to admire her craft. There was some interesting philosophy there. My other favorite was "Everything to Order" by Jody Lynn Nye. This story focuses on the three brides of Dracula, who arrange to order dresses for themselves after hours and have their eyes on one of the mannequins. Some other stories were alright, but nothing Earth-shattering. I think there are better Vampire stories out there to read. Most of this book is simply filler. If not for the 2 or 3 stories that were relatively well written this book would've deserved 1 star. |

Details: I am a vampire fan and when I found out about this book I have to get it. With such authors as Tanya Huff, Fred Saberhagen, P.N. Elrod and K.B. Bogen, this book is full of great works of the craft. Filled with humor and horror, it has something for anybody.
And if you like somebody's work you can always use the information in the back of the book to find their other works. A must for any vampire library! |
