The great-grandnephew of Bram Stoker, Dacre Stoker collaborates with Dracula historian Ian Holt to pen the first Stoker-family-supported sequel to the 1897 horror classic. Based on Bram Stoker's notes, the legendary story continues 25 years after the events of the original. An evil has once again crept onto the land, this time to hunt down those responsible for Dracula's demise.A quarter of a century after Count Dracula "crumbled into dust," Quincey Harker-the son of Jonathan and Mina Harker-leaves law school to pursue a career on stage, only to stumble upon the troubled production of Dracula, directed and produced by Bram Stoker himself. As the play plunges Quincey into the world of his parents' terrible secrets, death begins to stalk the original band of heroes that defeated Dracula a quarter-century ago. Could it be that the count survived and is now seeking revenge? Or is there another, far more sinister force at work whose relentless purpose is to destroy anything and anyone associated with Dracula, the most notorious vampire of all time?

      Simon Prebble is the perfect narrator for this hair-raising sequel to Bram Stoker's original DRACULA. Using Stoker's notes, Dacre Stoker, Bram's great-grandnephew, and Ian Holt, a Dracula scholar, make wonderful leaps into vampire lore and gore. Prebble is deliciously droll as he navigates the backstory, introducing characters both familiar and new. Prebble treats listeners to spot-on versions of Jonathan and Mina Harker; their actor son, Quincey; Drs. Van Helsing and Seward; and a gorgeously realized, unrelentingly vicious Countess Elizabeth Bathory, whose taste for vengeance and bloodletting is unsurpassed. Fans of the original dark fantasy will appreciate Stoker and Holt's period diction and Prebble's top-notch performance. The action is fast, bloody, often surprising, and definitely not in the vein of Stephenie Meyers's TWILIGHT series. S.J.H. Winner of AudioFile Earphones Award (c) AudioFile 2010, Portland, Maine

      Followers of the popular vampire literary and film interpretations of recent years might be blasÄ about another performance of the exquisitely written novel that started it all. But listening to this full-cast performance turns out to be remarkably suspenseful and chilling. The superlative cast lends this powerful production the diversity that is required by the structure of the novel, which includes journal entries and letters. Each actor employs various accents, infusing into the characters vibrant emphasis, urgency, and dread. The famed vampire Count Dracula leaves a swath of exsanguinated bodies in his wake as he attempts to relocate from Transylvania to England in 1897, stalked by the brave Van Helsing. A.W. Winner of AudioFile Earphones Award (c) AudioFile 2012, Portland, Maine
