Dracula RekindledThe Original Vampire is rekindled for the 21st CenturySome stories should never end Good stories leave the reader thirsty for The best stories can give us legends that leave a permanent imprint on the literary world Count Dracula is just such a legend; spawned countless film adaptations inspired the 20th century horror genre and ultimately planted the vampire firmly in popular culture Yet in a world of civilized sparkling vampires Stoker's story begs to be continuedWith Dracula Rekindled Xander Buchan takes the reigns from Bram Stoker with a fresh seuel that remains faithful to the Gothic horror clas. I kept putting off reading this as you shouldn't mess with a classic novel such as Dracula I really wanted to read it but I didn't want to read it in case I was disappointed I needn't have worriedThis novel is set in two time periods 7 years after the events in Dracula and also in 2010 2011 The older events are laid out in journals and letters by Abraham van Helsing and his family members and the modern day events are in emails and texts and Facebook timelines So it follows a similar format to the original just updatedThere are uite a few viewpoints to follow and it can jump about a bit but the story is all building up to Dracula making a reappearance in Scotland after a hundred years of silence He has slowly been plotting his comebackThere isn't too much bloodsucking and murder it is suspense and there are some great homages to the original including a madman in a mental hospital eating flies So if you enjoyed Dracula I think you will enjoy this I'm sure the author's name is a pseudonym but you never know
