Summary: Bllllleeeeeeeeeegh
Review: I abosolutely hated this book with a pation. The book's story was oranairy and and the book just didnt grab my attention. When the author decided to write his book in the fom of letters it was a major mistake! Not only did you not know what time you were in, you didnt know who was talking most of the time and to whom the letter was addressed to! This book just make you sick to your stomach. I think his book should be burned and should never be spoken of again.

Review: I hated this book with a pation. Out of the many books i read there are but a select few that i dispise and Vlad The Undead is one of them. The author decided to write this book from a letter point of view which is one of the parts i hate most about it. This book gets so confuseing because you dont know what point in time the letters were written or to whom they are addressed! Just even writing this review my stomach hurts! This story was clearly not ment to be written from this point of view. I also did not like the ending because you knew how the book was going to end by the end of the 2nd chapcter. All and All i really didnt like this book and i dont recomend it to anyone who doesnt belong to MENSA and doesnt like vampires.

Summary: Very Original Take on a Classic Tale!
Review: Numerous writers have attempted variations on Bram Stoker's classic Dracula but few have done well (among the best are Fred Saberhagen's The Dracula Tapes and Kim Newman's Anno Dracula). Hanna Lutzen has definitely joined the best. Set in a world where Stoker's novel doesn't exist but the vampire Dracula most certainly does, The author's use of diary excerpts and readings from an old family document mixed with segues into readings that flow more like oral narration all combine to produce a gripping tale while paying homage to Stoker's inspiration. The horror in this tale is not öf the sort seen in slasher flicks, but subtle and deft - it creeps slowly up your spine and into your brain. I highly recommend this book!
