Forgotten Gem Rises From the Grave

First published for the centennial of Bram Stoker's classic novel in 1997, the publication of Dacre Stoker and Ian Holt's "authorized" sequel of the same name earlier this year has given this excellent literary sequel a second chance at life. Freda Warrington is an exceptional writer and achieves what few if any other writer has done before or since - craft a faithful sequel to Stoker's original novel maintaining the author's distinctive voice and affection for his characters. Anyone who loves the Stoker book will be gladdened to see Warrington pick up the threads seven years on after the events of the original. Warrington does it so well, you'd think you were reading Stoker's own work. Warrington's approach to reviving Dracula is surprisingly original and believable - quite an achievement after decades of run of the mill movie sequels had long since jaded fans of the Stoker classic. The one lingering regret is that this is Warrington's only foray into the world of DRACULA. Her book is so good, you'll wish she would continue her spellbinding story of Dracula's return to the Scholomance in a second sequel. Highly recommended.
