This highly literate vampire novel is based on Bram Stoker's Dracula, but it's far more than a simple retelling of Stoker's tale. The primary narrator is The Count himself, but the :notebooks" and "diaries" of the other characters give the narrative a Kaleidoscope-like quality, revealing one aspect of the story after another. While the horror elements are prominent, psychological elements prevail in this chilling yet fascinating tale. Of particular interest to those familiar with Stoker's novel will be the revelations of what The Count kept in his cellars and why he kept it there.
