Dracula

Tanya Landman is renowned for her thought-provoking, prize-winning novels including the beautifully “deft and dark”, Carnegie Medal-winning Buffalo Soldier. In 2019 she won the Scottish Teenage Book Prize for her critically acclaimed novella One Shot. Tanya says that she loves how writing allows her to daydream – something she was always in trouble for at school! She lives in Devon with her sons, a Siamese cat and two Labradors.

"Carnegie Medal-winning author Tanya Landman has added this extraordinary Gothic classic to her superb series of retellings for publisher Barrington Stoke … It's no surprise that Stoker’s Gothic horror story popularised the vampire theme which has permeated literature and films alike, and now Landman’s stunning retelling – produced in an accessible format – means that that more readers can understand and enjoy it. The perfect introduction to the unforgettable world of Dracula!" – Yorkshire Evening Post"It's short, it's fast-paced but still maintains that totally chilling atmosphere … This is a great way to introduce young readers to the world of Gothic fiction and classic horror. It's spooky, smart and so incredibly engaging. Teachers, this one deserves a place on your classroom shelves!" — The Bearded Educator, reviewer"This is an absolutely brilliant retell of a classic novel. Perfectly captures the voices of the characters from the original." — Teacher
