The Man

Summary: One of Stoker's Bests....
Review: First, let's get something very clear. This is NOT a horror, adventure or mystery book. The back cover of this reprint says "a novel of fear from the author of Dracula." Amazon has reprinted their statements. This book is probably Stoker's most well known ROMANCE books. Why the publisher is trying to pass this off as a horror novel is beyond me.

Now, the review. Though I never read romance, I really liked this book. I have been a fan of Stoker since I can remember and this is certainly a good one. It is interesting to read him in a totally different genre. The characters are similar to his other characters, but there a few additional types that are refreshing and enjoyable.

Final analysis: If you are a Stoker fan, this is a must to read. If you like Victorian-Edwardian literature, this is also a good one. This would also be good, I suppose, for someone who likes romances that doesn't want all the modern vulgarities in the mix.
