Judgement of Tears : Anno Dracula 1959 Judgement of Tears blends horror and humor remarkably well. Semigraphic scenes of bloodsucking and neck biting are interspersed with humorous name-dropping. Among the guests at Vlad's wedding are a black-clad, gloomy couple named Addams, a British spy named Bond, and Orson Wells. Edgar Allan Poe is living as a scriptwriter; since being turned, he hasn't had an original idea. In the end, Judgement of Tears is as much a tale of intrigue as it is a horror novel. The backdrop is an old story of petty politics, set in a world that vampires, zombies, and even Frankenstein-like monsters share with the living. The flashes of wit serve to anchor the story to the real world and provide a connection to 20th-century popular culture. The ending reminds readers that politics prevail--whether for mortals or immortals.

The Land Beyond the Forest : Dracula and Swoop Contemporary U.S. playwright Wellman has never been easy to like. His eccentric, surrealistic works, with their extreme characters, manic wordplay, and complicated, confusing plots, seem out of step at a time when realism dominates American theater. But when Wellman adapted Bram Stoker's Dracula in 1994, his nonrealistic style actually captured its spirit and horror better than more traditional, linear stage versions, partly because Wellman's experience with nonlinear storytelling prepared him...

Legends of Dracula (A & E Biography) Book Description: Also known as Vlad the Impaler, Prince Dracula ruled near Transylvania more than 500 years ago and was notorious throughout Europe as a fierce tyrant who tortured and murdered many people. When writer Bram Stoker combined Dracula's blood-thirsty reputation with popular vampire folklore, the literary character Count Dracula was born. With his sharp teeth, pale skin, and staring eyes, he continues to rule the world of horror today. Author Tom Streissguth tells the chilling tale of the real-life...

The Letters of Mina Harker Synopsis: A fixture in the San Francisco literary scene for over a decade, Dodie Bellamy will surpass the expectations of her many fans with this new book--which traces a woman's relationships with three very different men and her involvement in 20th-century vampire culture. This is a nearly indescribable epistolary novel that brings the heroine of Bram Stoker's DRACULA forward into the acronymic age of MTV, HIV, ATM, VCR, etc.

The Licking Valley Coon Hunters Club Book Description: The LICKING VALLEY COON HUNTERS CLUB is a science-fiction, action-adventure, mystery-P.I.-suspense, humorous horror novel. Yep, it really is. You have to read it to believe it. Those of you who haven't read any of Hopkins' Zolotow tales, you have quite a treat in store. Those of you who are familiar with this intrepid P.I. won't be disappointed -- this is perhaps the best one to date.

Look for Me by Moonlight Spending the winter with her father and stepmother at a remote Maine inn, Cynda falls in love with a too-good-to-be-true older man, and he uses his charms to turn Cynda and her young stepbrother against their family. With an understated psychological component, this well-written story of a vampire preying on the emotions of young people builds to a high level of tension.

Lord of the Vampires : The Diaries of the Family Dracul Synopsis: In the conclusion to her terrifying, meticulously researched trilogy, Jeanne Kalogridis brilliantly melds historical facts about Vlad Tsepesh--Vlad the Impaler, the historical Dracula--and the characters in Bram Stoker's classic Dracula. After the death of his half-brother and his father at the hand of Vlad, Abraham van Helsing faces the ultimate battle with an entity more evil than Vlad himself: the Lord of the Vampires.

Lucy's Child Book Description: The tense atmosphere Beth's sister causes when she comes to stay is strained further by Lucy's references to Beth's inability to conceive. When Lucy has a fatal accident, she leaves the legacy of her child, providing Beth's only chance of motherhood. But forces are bent on Beth remaining childless.

Lust for Blood : The Consuming Story of Vampires Review: Not necessarily a cerebral read, but very interesting stories of those past and present with blood fetishes. Like a good ghost story, but true (as far as we know). Good history of sickos & murderers.
