Dracula: The Undead

     So, I decided to do another short review on a book I read. This book was called Dracula: The Undead by Dacre Stoker and Ian Holt. This was the official sequel to the original Dracula which was written in 1897. Dacre Stoker is a decedent from the legendary Bram Stoker. It was a pretty good book over all. If you liked the original Dracula, you will probably like this one. There were things in this book that contradicted the original novel. But this book explains those contradictions very well.  This book does a pretty good of tying in a lot of historical characters and weaving them together. Bram Stoker was even a character which was kind of weird, but it worked for this book. This book is set in 1912. Mina and Jonathan Harker have a son named Quincey, who was named after Quincey Morris (one of the main characters in Dracula who died in the fight against the "dark prince"). Quincey is completely ignorant of the events that happened before his birth. After people involved with the death of Dracula start being killed one after another, Quincey starts investigating and uncovering the truth. As he seeks answers he wonders, "Did his parents hunt down a vampire called Dracula? Is Dracula still alive? And if not who is trying to kill all of his parent's friends and his family?" If you like horror or Dracula you will enjoy this novel.
