Dracula in London

Начало книги

Okay, I confess it—I love Dracula! He IS the man!

The first time I remember seeing him was in Universal’s House of Dracula with elegant John Carradine in the role. I was instantly addicted. From then on, I couldn’t get enough of all the variations out there, good and bad, sublime and silly. Umpteen years pass and it still gives me a charge!

Hence this book. I wanted to put together a collection of stories with the Count as the focus, not a mere cameo, and ask the question, “What ELSE was Dracula doing in London when he was not being chased by Van Helsing and company?”

I feel very fortunate that some of the best writers in the business decided to answer. To have the chance to read so many delightful variations on a theme has been a dream come true. My sincere thanks to all of you for contributing your time and imaginations to this project. It’s been an honor.
