Something in the Blood: The Untold Story of Bram Stoker, the Man Who Wrote Dracula [Paperback]

Shortlisted for the Edgar Award (Critical/Biographical) A keepsake for any Dracula enthusiast. A consistently entertaining, sumptuously illustrated ramble through Stokerism. [A] gossipy, entertaining book filled with fascinating digressions and juicy connections. Skal proves to be an ideal guide&surely successful in his efforts to revivify his subject and to reveal that even those shadows we think we know may contain obscurities that move of their own volition and which, tantalizingly, remain just out of sight. Sharply written, well-researched (with judicious use of recent discoveries), attentive to detail, and entertaining to read. Skals is the finest, most balanced biography of Bram Stoker yet written.
