Dracula the Undead is the unofficial sequel to the famous classic novel Dracula (1897) by Bram Stoker. it has been 7 years since Dracula had a silver stake drove through his heart by Jonathan Harker, Quincey Morris, Abraham Van Helsing, n Jack Seward. the band of heroes succeeded in their quest, but were broken within resulted from the battle. Mina Harker remained visibly young after having a child with Jonathan, for her blood was tainted with Dracula's. Van Helsing aimed to draw an end to their fear by revisiting the castle, they found no trace of Dracula returning from death. but underneath the earth, Dracula's soul laid waiting to be revived.
it was refreshing that the novel was presented in a series of diaries n letters put together. everyone kept a journal of their life ever since the incident, n from there the different perspectives n emotions that they kept hidden from the others, even between partners in marriage. it was exciting as the story slowly progressed, n heated up from point to point, making it impossible to put down! its simple wordings managed to feed me its image clearly as well as experiencing the emotions of each character.

ReplyDeletei remembered you mentioning being a huge fan of vampires for my last vampire post as well. Bram Stoker's Dracula was truly the all time favorite version of vampire story anyone could come to appreciate. without it, there will be no vampire stories we get to read/watch today.
