Summary: Fred Saberhagan's Best Ever
Review: It's all very well to say that Fred Saberhagen's Dracula series is always enjoyable, as I have seen one reviewer state, but this particular book is phenomenally good. It is number five in the series, but can be read as a standalone story as I did the first time. Dracula (a good guy) meets Merlin, still ensorceled by Morgan La Fay and a pathetic shell of himself. There are details in the book that I found truly chilling, as I seldom do in fiction (the only other good example was Peter Straub's "Ghost story"). To see what I mean, follow the subplot of the stage magician (not a real magician) giving a performance at La Fay's castle, and how he learns about his heritage.
