Susan P. reviewed Thirsting to know more about Dracula? Start here. on 11/3/2008 + 40 more book reviews

Helpful Score: 2

If you've read Bram Stoker's "Dracula" and are fascinated by the themes percolating through it, or if your only image of the character is through the movies, or if you just want to know some more about the story in general, this is an ideal place to start. Extensively researched and packed with fascinating historical detail, the book, as the subtitle indicates, discusses "Dracula" from Stoker's writing and research for the novel up to the famous - some might say "iconic" - 1931 movie version starring Bela Lugosi. Skal is a most entertaining writer, and his chronicle of the history is itself as exciting as any thriller.
