Dracula's Crypt: Bram Stoker, Irishness, and the Question of Blood Joseph Valente
University of Illinois Press, 2001
Dracula's Crypt unearths the Irish roots of Bram Stoker's gothic masterpiece, offering a fresh interpretation of the author's relationship to his novel and to the politics of blood that consumes its characters. An ingenious reappraisal of a classic text, Dracula's Crypt presents Stoker's novel as a subtly ironic commentary on England's preoccupation with racial purity. Probing ...

Bram Stoker and the Man Who Was Dracula Barbara Belford
Da Capo Press, 2002
A biography of Bram Stoker and Henry Irving
If you open a copy of Bram Stoker and the Man Who Was Dracula you can see that the title page mentions a completely different title: Bram Stoker - A Biography of the Author of Dracula. To my opinion this title is much more relevant to the content of the book.
Indeed Barbara Belford draws an ...

Bram Stoker's The Mummy Louis Gossett Jr., Amy Locane
Simitar Ent., 1998
Third Time's (Almost) A Charm
Faithful third film adaptation of Bram Stoker's The Jewel Of Seven Stars (following Blood From the Mummy's Tomb and The Awakening) doesn't deliver all it promises, but it delivers enough to be worth watching. Archaeologist Lloyd Bochner is attacked in his locked study, and has left very specific ...

Dracula (Signet Classics) Bram Stoker
Signet Classics, 1986
An old fashioned tale that doesn't offend
+ AN ACTUAL REVIEW OF THIS NAXOS AUDIO DRAMATIZATION + There is more than meets the eye
Bram Stoker's "Dracula" was first published in 1897, and as one reads this work, it is overwhelmingly apparent that it was written during a time when morals and virtues were held in a much higher regard than they are today.
The book is comprised primarily of various journal entries from six ...

Midnight Tales Bram Stoker

The Jewel of Seven Stars (Pocket Classics) Bram Stoker
Sutton Publishing, 1996
A Greatly Underrated Book
+ Stoker's second best work + Good, not as good as Dracula
This book is great. I couldn't put it down. Personally I think that it is as good as "Dracula". It amazes me that it remains so obscure. One of the other reviewers complained of a weak ending. I assume that this poor person was unlucky enough to have read the 1912 edition. Stoker's publishers ...

Under the Sunset Bram Stoker
Borgo Press, 2002
A Collection of Children's Stories?
While Stoker originally wrote this collection of eight short stores for children, I would be reluctant to read most of the stories to anyone under the age of ten. I found the stories themselves to be a rather mixed bag both in terms of theme and quality. My favorite by far was "The Invisible ...
