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

Peter Owen Publishers, 2001

Nice Collection of Stoker's Less Known

This is a really nifty collection of Stoker's lesser known works. I contains numerous short stories from different periods of his career as well as some from Sir Henry Irving. It also contains the original ending to "The Jewel of the Seven Stars." This portion alone is enough to purchase the book ...

Knopf, 1996

Best Book I ever read!

+ Insight into Bram Stoker & His Life at the Lyceum.

The main caracters in the story are Jonathan Harker, Mina Murry/Harker, and Lucy Westenras. There are several different settings, so I won,t list them specifically. Most of the book, they are in Europe in the 1800's. The plot of the books is Jonathan is a solicitor and meets the "Count". ...
  
  











  



  
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 ...

Primrose Path, The
Bram Stoker

Desert Island Books, 1999

One of the Earliest Novels by the Writer of 'Dracula'

`The Primrose Path' is part of unique collection `Dracula Library' from Desert Island Books. The book by Bram Stoker was originally written for the Shamrock, obscure Irish magazine in 1875, twenty-two years before the publication of `Dracula' But this comparatively short novel (or novella I ...
  
  











  



  
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 ...
